Abstract
Wireless local area networks (LANs) require the efficient integration of multimedia and traditional data traffic. This paper proposes the priority-oriented adaptive polling (POAP) protocol that could be used in place of the enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) part of the IEEE 802.11e access scheme. EDCA seems capable of differentiating traffic; however, it exhibits great overhead that limits the available bandwidth and degrades performance. POAP is collision free, prioritizes the different kinds of traffic, and is able to provide quality of service (QoS) for all types of multimedia network applications while efficiently supporting background data traffic. POAP, compared to EDCA, provides higher channel utilization, distributes resources to the stations adapting to their real needs, and generally exhibits superior performance.
