QoS provisioning in Wireless Local Area Network using adaptive admission control and scheduling with priority sliding

Existing Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), which are dominated by the IEEE802.11b/a/g/n standards, only provide best effort services. These IEEE802.11 protocols that primarily employ Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) mechanism are unable to provide Quality of Servi...
