Abstract :
This paper presents an analytical model for saturation throughput of IEEE 802.11 distributed coordination function (DCF) with multiple classes of service based on varying the parameters used in medium access control. In particular, we show that relative service differentiation can easily be achieved by varying the initial contention window alone. The simulation results show the validity of this model.
