Abstract
In this paper, a comprehensive overview of the new features of an upcoming new standard IEEE 802.11e to support Quality of Service (QoS) in Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) is presented. We address Medium Access Control (MAC) enhancements found in the current 802.11e draft specification by emphasizing the differences from the legacy 802.11 standard. New mechanisms for QoS support, namely Enhanced Distributed Coordination Function (EDCF) and Hybrid Coordination Function (HCF), defined in the 802.11e draft are evaluated. The performance of those new schemes is discussed via simulation results.
