The recently ratified IEEE 802.11e standard defines the Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) function for Quality-of-Service (QoS) provisioning in the Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). The EDCA uses Carrier Sense Multiple Access…

Carrier sense multiple access collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) is the basic scheme upon which access to the shared medium is regulated in many wireless networks. With CSMA/CA a station willing to start a transmission has first to find the…

Devices in a beacon-enabled network use slotted CSMA/CA to contend for channel usage. Each node in the network competes for the channels when ready to transmit data. The slotted CSMA/CA mechanism based on the super-frame structure fairly…

In wireless local area networks (WLANs), a media access protocol arbitrates access to the channel. In current IEEE 802.11 WLANs, carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) is used. Carrier sense multiple access with…

Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Enhanced Collision Avoidance (CSMA/ECA) is a distributed MAC protocol that allows collision-free access to the medium in WLAN. The only difference between CSMA/ECA and the well-known CSMA/CA is that the…
