The IEEE 802.11 standard based Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) are widely deployed and have gained greater popularity. It is anticipated that WLAN will play an important rule in the future wireless communication systems in order to provide several gigabits data rate. However, it has been a challenging problem to support the IEEE 802.11 WLAN devices to fully exploit the high throughput gains offered...
Advanced regulation machine (ARM) is determined to make the perfect parameters (AIFS, CWmin and CWmax) selections in the wireless networks platform. The simple but effective adjustment strategies of three parameters combinations are proposed with the priority theory to obtain the acquired high quality of service (QoS). The internal competitions models of various traffic analysis machines are delivered...
This paper addresses the problem of indoor location for devices that are connected to WLAN. Nowdays most of the smart terminals: mobile phones, portable computers and tablets are WLAN enabled. Location of these devices is of interest to network security issues as well as employee and company security and reliability. Most of the algorithms on the market use triangulation as a basic rule for location...
In recent years, IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) have emerged as one of the prevailing technologies for the broadband wireless access. Although IEEE802.16 wireless network has become a newer generation of wireless network, it will be used as wireless metropolitan area network in the beginning because of its price. IEEE 802.11 network will continue to be the most important wireless...
Multimedia communications over Wireless Local Area Networks like hotspots, are a challenging issue due to the best-effort nature of Internet communications. In a previous work we introduced a Dual-Queue Rate-Controlled mechanism for Access Points (DRAP) in a Hotspot scenario. DRAP has shown to provide some Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees to audio and video traffic flows in the presence of TCP...
One of the most desirable features of next generation wireless networks is the ability to move seamlessly over different access networks regardless of the underlying infrastructure. Handovers between dissimilar networks may be facilitated by the use of an efficient vertical handover algorithm. This paper explores ongoing research on the development of vertical handover decision methods and their effectiveness...
Minimizing energy consumption is becoming more and more crucial in today's mobile terminals communications. Reducing its use pass necessarily by exploiting low power design techniques and by adopting novel energy-aware applications and protocols. The focus in this paper mainly concerns the Voice over IP over Wireless Local Area Network (VoWLAN) application, which is beyond doubt the most popular application...
Quality of Service (QoS) provided by the IEEE 802.11e amendment and by the proposed HCF Controlled Channel Access (HCCA) reference scheduler is tailored for Constant Bit Rate traffic streams. Moreover the numerous alternative scheduling algorithms are not suitable to serve Variable Bit Rate (VBR) traffic streams with the required QoS and real-time guarantees. This paper presents Immediate Dynamic...
Energy consumption of wireless data transmission heavily depends on the shape of the outgoing traffic of the mobile device. In this paper, we propose a traffic scheduler that shapes the packets into consistent bursts based on per-packet performance constraints in order to reduce the overall transmission cost. Our scheduler takes into account the scenarios where multiple network applications run concurrently...
Development of multimedia from year to year increasing with the growing support of computer networks such as wireless LAN (WLAN) as a media intermediary. The one of method is streaming multimedia delivery over the internet from the server to the client to respond to client requests to a video and audio contained in a computer network. Factors that affect the streaming is bandwidth. These factors may...
We have investigated the scope for enabling WLAN applications to manage the trade-off between performance and energy usage. We have conducted measurements of energy usage and performance in our 802.11n WLAN testbed, which operates in the 5 GHz ISM band. We have defined an effective energy usage envelope with respect to application-level packet transmission, and we demonstrate how performance as well...
In this paper a new backoff algorithm is proposed to enhance both the delay and the throughput performance of IEEE 802.11b MAC protocol. The proposed waiting time based backoff algorithm (WBA), observes the Waiting-time of each station during the backoff procedure in order to estimate the size of contention window in the network. The main objective of our investigation is to examine the performance...
In a wireless multi-hop or mesh network, stations which are connected to Mesh Access Point (MAP) lesser hops from the gateway are expected to enjoy higher throughput and lower delay than stations connected to the MAP further hops away. To solve this issue, we introduce a technique to determine network layer queue size limit of ingress radio interfaces in the multi-radio MAPs. The intention is to partially...
IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs can provide easy deployment and configuration for broadband wireless data services without dealing with a cable. However, when MSs roam in IEEE 802.11 wireless networks, the conventional handoff process is not suitable for seamless mobile services. In this paper, we propose a channel-switched AP architecture in which the neighboring APs cooperate in changing the RF channel...
Future generation communication systems will provide transparent and seamless user roaming with end-to-end quality of service (QoS) guarantees.

Universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS) and wireless local area network (WLAN) convergence network, a popular and representative interworking paradigm,...
Wireless local area networks (WLANs) are in a period of great expansion and there is a strong need for them to support multimedia applications.

Energy consumption is a major issue in the wide deployment of Voice-over-IP (VoIP) over IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN. This energy can be conserves by staying in sleep mode during VoIP call over WLAN. To this end, researchers have conducted extensive simulation and analytical studies to determine the consumed energy during VoIP call in different WLANs.
