Service Differentiation over Ad Hoc WLANs
In Chap. 3, an infrastructure-based WLAN is considered with a central controller. In this chapter, we consider an ad hoc WLAN where a distributed access control is needed due to the lack of central controller. Most of the existing distributed access contr

Preface
Due to the hostile transmission environment and limited radio resources, quality-ofservice (QoS) provisioning in wireless networks is much more complex and difficult than in its wired counterpart. Moreover, due to the lack of central controller in the networks, distributed network control is required, adding complexity to QoS provisioning. In this book, distributed medium access control (MAC) with QoS pr
