Abstract :
Optimization of Quality of Service (QoS) of IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol is a significant issue for Wireless Ad-hoc Networks; and during recent years many researches have been done to increase its performance and QoS. In this paper we focus on how to improve the throughput of EDCF mechanism and get the best QoS in frames transmission. We first outline the disadvantages of EDCF. Then we state an adjustment algorithm to resolve these drawbacks. The proposed adaptive scheme is used in the RTS/CTS-based method and adjusts Contention Window (CW) sizes based on network environment and finally enhances the network throughput.
