The IEEE 802.11e standard has been introduced recently for providing Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities in the emerging wireless local area networks. This standard introduces a contention window based Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) technique that provides a prioritized traffic to guarantee the minimum bandwidth needed for time critical applications. However, the EDCA technique resets statically the contention window of the mobile station after each successful transmission. This static behavior does not adapt to the network state hence reduces the network usage and results in bad performance and poor link utilization whenever the demand for link utilization increases. This paper proposes a new adaptive differentiation technique for IEEE 802.11e wireless local area networks that takes into account the network state before resetting the contention window. The performance of the proposed technique is evaluated compared to the original differentiation techniques of the IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11e standards. Preliminary results show that the proposed adaptive technique enhances the channel utilization and increases throughput. © 2005 IEEE.
