摘要

An apparatus and method for providing enhanced wireless communications, in which predetermined parameters are obtained by using an experiment in a wireless network environment to decrease traffic backoffs in real-time or increase traffic throughputs in non real-time, and the obtained parameters are used for access points and each station. The apparatus for providing enhanced wireless communications includes a storage unit (430) for storing EDCA parameters and predetermined retrieval information corresponding to the EDCA parameters, the EDCA parameters decreasing traffic backoffs in real-time or increasing traffic throughputs in non real-time, a receiving unit (410) for receiving information including at least one of access categories of data to be transmitted from each station connected to a network and a traffic load in real-time, a parameter retrieval unit (440) for retrieving the EDCA parameters corresponding to the retrieval information selected by referring to the received information, and a transmitting unit (450) for transmitting the retrieved EDCA parameters.
