Abstract
Several studies in literature have investigated the performance of the proposed ieee 802.11e standard for qos differentiation in wlan, but most of them are limited both with respect to the range of the parameter settings and the considered traffic scenarios.The aim of the present study is to systematically investigate (by simulations) the impact of each of the qos differentiation parameters, under more realistic traffic conditions. In particular, we investigate flow-level performance characteristics (e.g., file transfer times) in the situation that the number of active stations varies dynamically in time.
