<Abstract>

Wireless multi-hop networks have also been gathering attention because of wide coverage without the fixed infrastructure. Therefore, priority control for wireless multi-hop network is important.?@This paper proposes a novel priority control scheme in MAC layer which guarantees the throughput of high-priority flow.?@In the proposed scheme, an access point controls traffic of low-priority flow by using receiving opportunity control with token bucket filter algorithm in order to guarantee QoS of high-priority flow.?@Simulation evaluation results show that the proposed scheme is effective.
