Abstract

In mobile cellular networks, bandwidth is deterministic in terms of number of channels by frequency division, time division, or code division. On the other hand, bandwidth partition schemes in the contention-based medium access control (MAC) in distributed wireless LANs are extremely challenging due to the contention-based nature. In this paper, we propose and study a dynamic bandwidth partition with finer-tune (DP-FT) scheme for integrated voice/video/data traffic in the IEEE 802.11e wireless LANs.
