About the talk:
<P>
Wireless Quality of Service is a partial oxymoron because of the
vulnerabilities of the channel to interference. Nevertheless, adding
QoS capabilities to existing wireless LANs is a priority for those
who seek to replace wired networks and/or transport multimedia
streams.
<P>
The talk will provide background information and context for the
subject, present an outline of the current active QoS initiatives
within the IEEE 802.11 body, offer some simulation results for
insight, and describe some of the challenges faced by vlsi and
system designers in this complex network environment.
