Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) with chain topologies are very useful in road and railroad transportation or in tunnel and mine applications. The proposed protocols for WMNs usually support best-effort traffic or some kind of Quality of Service (QoS). However, some applications such as remote-controlled machines in industrial control networks have Hard Real-Time (HRT) requirements, i.e., strict deadlines...
In this paper we investigate the problem of providing QoS within IEEE 802.11 EDCA ad-hoc networks. Our study shows that a strong unfairness in medium access between certain nodes may appear. It also shows that the possible unfairness is dependent on the actual placement of nodes. Furthermore, the inability of the four-way handshake mechanism to improve the performance of the analyzed networks is also...
