“…The performance analysis of IEEE 802.11e-EDCA network can be achieved by either simulation and experiment (see Al-Karaki and Chang, 2004;Hamidian and Korner, 2006;Fan, 2007;Gallardo et al, 2007;Lee et al, 2007b;Ge et al, 2007;Lin and Wu, 2007;Hamidian and Korner, 2008;Yu et al, 2009;Varposhti and Movahhedinia, 2009;Thangaraj et al, 2010;Cetinkaya, 2010;Lagkas et al, 2013;Korner et al, 2011;Camps-Mur et al, 2012) or by mathematical modelling (see Jeong et al, 2004;Kong et al, 2004;Vassis and Kormentzas, 2005;Xiao, 2005;Banchs and Vollero, 2006;Tao and Panwar, 2006;Banchs and Serrano, 2007;Serrano et al, 2007;Xiong and Mao, 2007;Patras et al, 2009;Pan and Wu, 2009;Hu et al, 2011;Kosek-Szott et al, 2011;Min et al, 2011;Liu and Saadawi, 2011;Hu et al, 2012;Yao et al, 2013;Yazid et al, 2015a). Mathematical modelling is an abstract representation of the system behaviour, frequently in steady state (Puigjaner, 2003).…”
