  • Abstract
    In wireless LANs, QoS provisioning and multimedia traffic support are critical elements for the successful deployment of such networks. In this paper, we propose a dynamic mechanism to adapt data rate and priority of multimedia wireless stations equipped with IEEE 802.11e network cards. We show how the introduced dynamicity is able to improve performance of the enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) of IEEE 802.11e networks.
