Abstract (EN): WiFi (IEEE 802.11 standard) networks are widely used to support real-time (RT) applications, from home environment systems to complex networked control systems (NCS). Nevertheless, the Quality of Service (QoS) extensions incorporated into the standard are still unable to guarantee some relevant RT communications requirements. This paper presents an experimental validation of the RT-WiFi architecture that was recently proposed to deal with RT communication requirements and analysed through simulation. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of implementing the RT-WiFi architecture and improving the QoS level of communications through a comparative analysis with the EDCA (Enhanced Distributed Channel Access) mechanism, which is a mechanism incorporated in the IEEE 802.11 standard to provide different levels of transmission priority of different types of traffic.
