Motivation of Traffic Aware 6/28/2006 doc.: IEEE 802.11-06/0912r0 6/28/2006 Motivation of Traffic Aware An overview of current WLAN and Mesh mechanism One channel is shared by many wireless devices in WLAN The traffic can steadily be classed as different category in WLAN according to 802.11e Routing has to be used in Mesh Some problems may occur in WLAN and Mesh In case of mass video traffic, maybe data traffic have no chance to access WLAN 802.11e and routing need to work in harmony Load balance needs to be considered Traffic aware may alleviate the situation Junping Zhang,Huawei Junping Zhang,Huawei

Adaptive QoS adjusting 6/28/2006 doc.: IEEE 802.11-06/0912r0 6/28/2006 Adaptive QoS adjusting voice MPEG4 DATA Each VBR frame has different weightiness. For example, each MPEG4 frame can be tagged with one of the I, B or P frames. In case of network saturation state, the priority and retry count of the less weightiness frame such as B frames can be changed ,when transmission failed they can be discarded without retransmission This is significant for WLAN which more traffic needs access in saturation state. Frame tagged I Frame B Frame P Frame Adaptive priority 0 for Voice 1 for I 2 for B 1 for P 1 for DATA Adaptive retry count 4 for DATA 4 for Voice 4 for I 0 for B 4 for P Junping Zhang,Huawei Junping Zhang,Huawei
