Scheduling mechanism for WLAN frame aggregation with priority support

Abstract

For the overheads of 802.11 WLAN, several frame aggregation mechanisms had been proposed to deal with this shortcoming. Since the rare consideration of QoS in these proposals, we took advantage of 802.11e queueing model to enhance the priority scheduling. This paper approaches to eliminate the decomposition of aggregated frame to multi-destination. The idle while counting down the backoff time was been converted to advantage for frame scheduling in this paper.
