Contention free bursting (CFB) and block acknowledgement (BACK) are two innovative burst transmission schemes specified in the IEEE 802.11e standard for reducing the contention overheads and further improving the channel utilization of wireless local area networks (WLANs). Existing studies on performance analysis of the CFB and BACK schemes have been primarily focused on the system throughput and have not taken into account the realistic factors, such as unsaturated traffic loads and finite buffer capacity. To fill this gap, this paper proposes a new and comprehensive analytical model for evaluating the Quality-of-Service (QoS) metrics including throughput, end-to-end delay, and frame loss probability of both burst transmission schemes under unsaturated traffic conditions. The proposed model is validated through extensive simulation experiments and then is used to conduct performance analysis and comparison of the burst transmission schemes under various working conditions. The analytical results reveal that (1) both CFB and BACK schemes can substantially improve the QoS performance; (2) BACK scheme outperforms the CFB scheme when the transmission opportunity (TXOP) limit exceeds a threshold; (3) the analytical model can be used to identify the optimal configuration of system parameters for the burst transmission schemes subject to QoS constraints.
