BACKOFF MANAGEMENT FOR INTRA-QUEUE PRIORITY TRANSMISSION IN COMMUNICATION NETWORKS

摘要

The invention relates to wireless networks comprising an access point and non-AP stations comprising at least one traffic queue for serving data traffic. According to embodiments, intra-queue priority is implemented using a backoff engine that uses first EDCA parameters if the data packet to be transmitted is of the first type and second EDCA parameters different from the first EDCA parameters if the data packet to be transmitted is of the second type.
