The scheme is to solve the problem of the packet loss and the decrease of performance due to the increasing Contention Window (CW) when there are continuous collisions. In the proposed scheme, the CW of the packet will change dynamically with different delay for the different traffics. Mathematic formulas are presented to indicate the relationship between the CW and the delay character. ,The performance of the new scheme is also discussed with simulation results. The results show that it helps WLAN system handle multimedia simultaneously.展开更多
