An Admission Control Heuristic for IEEE 802.11e Wireless LANs

Bechir Hamdaoui, Moncef Elaoud, Parameswaran Ramanathan

It proposes a CAC mechanism similar to the one that Cristina presented in one of the NeTS seminars. The different lays in the model that is used to calculate the delays suffered by the multimedia packets. It seems that the model together with the CAC mechanism successfully predicts the number of VoIP calls that an AP can support, compared to simultion.

It does not contemplate channel errors nor rate adaption.

I lack the mathematical knowledge to fully understand the model and therefore I should re-read the paper and check the different steps one-by-one.
