Analysis of Burst Transmission in IEEE 802.11e Wireless LANs Conference Paper

abstract

• Transmission opportunity, or TXOP, is a channel control method introduced in the IEEE 802.11e wireless LAN standard for improving channel utilization. In this paper, we propose an analytical model to evaluate the performance of TXOP as a method for achieving efficient burst transmissions in IEEE wireless LANs. We show how the model can be used to estimate the throughput of different access categories as a function of the TXOP limit value, and how to calculate the total throughput achieved under basic-access and RTS/CTS access modes. We also show that improved service differentiation can be achieved by using a novel scheme based on TXOP thresholds. Our model demonstrates how the combined used use of TXOP with other MAC parameters can lead to higher aggregate throughput and improved service differentiation. 2006 IEEE.
