Abstract
This paper presents a QoS aware service discipline based on estimated transmission times for use in IEEE 802.11 networks. This algorithm works based on the flow specifications defined by the IETF for the IP QoS reference models, coupling layer 2 and layer 3 QoS. Simulation results show that the proposed service discipline performs better than Weighted Round Robin in IEEE 802.11b networks, providing a better optimisation of network resources while fulfilling the QoS requirements of real-time services such as packet telephony and videoconference.
