Abstract
This paper proposes a traffic-aware TXOP adjustment algorithm for the IEEE 802.11e networks. In the proposed algorithm the access point (AP) monitors the network traffics periodically and adjusts the TXOP value of the non-QoS traffic in order to improve the network throughput while maintaining the QoS of video and voice applications. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the legacy IEEE 802.11e in terms of the throughput and the fairness.
