In infrastructure wireless networks, the wireless hop can be considered as another hop of the transmission path. With the rapid growth of wireless traffics, the future wireless network is expected to provide services for heterogeneous data traffics with different quality of service (QoS) requirements. Most proposed schemes do not have adaptive mechanisms to deal with the environment changes. In real situation, bandwidths, error rates and loss rates of wireless links vary frequently. We will base on the differentiated service model and propose a wireless differentiation (WD) scheme for user datagram protocol (UDP) flows and a wireless differentiation with prioritised ACK scheme for connections with transmission control protocol (TCP) flows. Both schemes provide QoS support for IEEE 802.11b and do not change the basic access mechanism of IEEE 802.11b.
