Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) IEEE 802.11e Medium Access Control (MAC) is a supplement to the IEEE 802.11 Wireless Network (WLAN) standard to support Quality of Service (QoS). The 802.11e MAC defines a new coordination function, namely Hybrid Coordination Function (HCF), which takes the QoS requirements of flows into account and allocates time to stations on the basis of the mean sending rate, then delay of variable bit rate (VBR) traffic cannot be bounded with the standard HCF scheduling algorithm proposed in this supplement. In this paper, we proposed a new scheduling algorithm that utilizes the token bucket and a modified Latency-Rate (LR) scheduling algorithm to guarantee a bounded delay and loss-free packet transmission. The new allocated time to stations takes into account delay bound and token bucket parameters. We show that is possible to obtain the worst-case performance guarantees on delay. Properties of the proposal are investigated both theoretically and using ns-2 simulations. We present a set of simulations with both constant bit rate (CBR) and VBR flows and performance comparisons with HCF scheduling algorithm. The results show that the upper bounds can be achieved for a large range of networks load.
