Method and system for a quality of service mechanism for a wireless network
First Claim
1. A method for a quality of service mechanism for a wireless network, the method comprising:
- providing an admission control policy for a quality of service access point (QAP) to manage bandwidth by accepting or denying service to admitted traffic streams of quality of service stations (QSTAs); and
renegotiating different access category parameters in the QAP for enhancing performance in the wireless network.

Abstract
A quality of service mechanism for a wireless network includes providing an admission control policy for a quality of service access point (QAP) to manage bandwidth by accepting or denying service to admitted traffic streams of quality of service stations (QSTAs) Further included is renegotiating different access category parameters in the QAP for enhancing performance in the wireless network. An additional aspect also includes monitoring in the QSTAs for enhanced networking to determine whether bandwidth allocation to a specific access category meets QoS requirements under time-varying network conditions and renegotiating admitted access category bandwidth if necessary.

10. A system for a quality of service mechanism for a wireless network, the system comprising:
-
a QBSS (quality of service basic service set), the QBSS including QSTAs (quality of service stations); and
a QAP (quality of service access point), the QAP providing an admission control policy to manage bandwidth by accepting or denying service to admitted traffic streams of the QSTAs and renegotiating different access category parameters of the QSTAs for enhancing performance of the QBSS. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
