  ABSTRACT: IEEE 802.11 distributed coordination function (DCF) can alleviate the collision and hidden station problem, but it doesn’t differentiate traffic categories (TC). Therefore, it can’t provide sufficient QoS support for different traffic categories. Recently, a new contention-based enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) scheme was proposed which provides a probabilistic QoS support. In this paper, an adaptive EDCA scheme with QoS guarantee for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is proposed. In this scheme, the EDCA scheme and the token bucket algorithm (TBA) are combined to adjust the contention window (CW). Our scheme provides the traffic differentiation.
