In the first part, we propose enhancements of the legacy 802.11 standard which lacks of QoS. For admission control, we propose a scheduling algorithm for multimedia traffic, in which priority is provided to packets with a less strict way than the EDF algorithm, and we compare both algorithms by simulation. For access control, we propose an algorithm that tunes dynamically the contention window, and we use simulations to show improvement of fairness between stations. Then we are interested in service differentiation, and we analyze the coexistence of two service classes having their contention window evolving in different ways, and we evaluate their performances in terms of throughput and mean delay. This leads us, in the second part of this thesis, to present a complete study of service differentiation in the 802.11e amendment. We propose a general analytical framework in which we model the EDCA access scheme by Markov chains. We define and study four differentiation schemes and evaluate class performances in terms of throughput, mean delay and drop ratio. Using approximations for large networks, we derive, for a given class performance index, a simple expression of this index in the other classes. That allows us to determine the relationship between class performances, and compare the differentiation schemes even if the nature of their parameters is different. Moreover, we determine analytically and verify by simulation equivalence conditions, between differentiation schemes based on backoff time distribution, that produce the same performances in terms of throughput, mean delay and drop ratio. Then, in these conditions, we analyze the effect of backoff time distribution on jitter. Our results are important tools for decision making in order to meet QoS objectives.
