Abstract	Wireless communications are nowadays one of the most active research and development areas in telecommunications. The widespread use of wireless networks and the development of high-rate infrastructure are in turn enabling the introduction and deployment of many new end-user applications. During the past few years, the IEEE 802.11e (EDCA) standard has been working on defining the required QoS mechanisms to be incorporated into the IEEE 802.11 protocol architecture. However, recent studies have shown that EDCA performs poorly when the medium is highly loaded due to the high collision rate. Numerous proposals have been reported in the literature aiming to overcome this main drawback. However, EDCA and the proposed mechanisms continue to have a serious problem with a specific type of application: the multicast traffic. In EDCA (as in DCF) the multicast service is defined as an unreliable service, i.e., it does not include the use of ACK frames. Furthermore, different to the unicast service, the multicast service makes use of a single rate out of the various rates included in the Basic Service Set (BSS) defined by the IEEE 802.11 standard. This situation has led many researchers to design techniques aiming to improve the multicast transmission. In this paper, we analyze the inter-operability of two prominent multicast mechanisms recently reported by the authors and the channel access method defined by the IEEE 802.11e EDCA standard. We further consider the use of B-EDCA: an enhanced version of EDCA recently introduced by the authors. We carried a comparative performance evaluation of the aforementioned mechanisms when supporting unicast and multicast traffic. Our simulation results show the effectiveness of the enhanced protocol architectures when jointly supporting unicast and multicast traffic.
