Abstract:

In this paper, we focus on IEEE 802.11e enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) protocol, which can provide QoS guarantee for multimedia applications in mobile ad hoc networks. First, we briefly explain the concept of EDCA protocol. Then we implement EDCA protocol in GloMoSim via configuring special contention parameters for multimedia applications and introducing a virtual collision disposal mechanism in the MAC layer. In the end, we provide performance analysis for EDCA protocol through plentiful simulations. The simulation results show an excellent performance of the EDCA protocol we proposed.
