Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatuses are provided for using a single transmit queue to transmit a plurality of access categories in an IEEE 802.11 system. To use a single transmit queue, conventional frame descriptors that are used to pass data frames between the wireless NIC and the host are modified to include access parameters for the packets that are associated with the frame descriptors. This allows transmission hardware to dynamically change how each packet is transmitted. For example, the contention policies may be implemented on a packet-by-packet basis, even from a single transmit queue. Also, packets of various access categories into appropriate positions within the single transmit queue.
