An Efficient Multipolling Mechanism for IEEE 802.11 Wireless LANs

Overview To expand the support for applications with QoS requirements in Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), the 802.11E task group was formed to enhance the current IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol. The multipolling mechanism was discussed in the task group, but some problems remain unsolved. This paper shows a novel design of the multipolling mechanism with the advantages of high channel utilization and low implementation overhead. In the proposed mechanism, wireless stations use a priority-based contention scheme to coordinate in themselves the transmission order on the channel.

Crossing the Channel: What IP can do for storage

Reassessing their storage and storage area network (SAN) requirements has become a priority. Handling massive distances such as these is no trivial task, says Bond, even if delays for large distances can now be in the millisecond range.

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

An IP packet is formed when a router chops up a stream of digital information into manageable chunks. Voice is typically given the highest priority, in MPLS terms this is likely to be Platinum, while email may be Bronze.
