Completing IEEE 802.11e implementation in NS-3

Abstract

Since IEEE 802.11 standard first released, it gained a worldwide attention. As a result, a huge variety of devices have implemented it. IEEE 802.11e standard was developed as an amendment to the original 802.11 standard to provide QoS support. Several simulators provides an implementation for this standard in order to study and analyze its performance. NS-3 simulator implements IEEE 802.11e, but unfortunately, we found that the implementation is not complete. In this work, we complete the implementation of the IEEE 802.11e in NS-3.
