Video Streaming over IEEE 802.11e

Now a days all are mainly focusing on video and audio based applications. At medium access layer the video has to be served in a very effective way since video transmission is critical in the mac layer. The Quality of service (QoS) aimed IEEE 802.11e follows FIFO mechanism for different frames (I/P/B) of video. This degrades the performance of video for the applications like video streaming etc. The queuing mechanism should not be FIFO to support the QoS requirements for the video. This paper aims for a video type awarded mechanism to map the packets to the queues in IEEE 802.11e. This mapping mechanism is aimed to improve the QoS for video.
