<p>A frame classification entity (FCE) for a station in a basic service set (BSS) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) is disclosed. The FCE includes a classification table. The classification table is logically located at a logical link control (LLC) sublayer of the station, and contains at least one classifier entry. Each classifier entry includes at least a virtual stream identifier (VSID), a search priority value, and at least one classifier parameter. The FCE receives at least one data frame passed down to the LLC sublayer of the station from a higher layer in the station. The FCE then classifies each received data frame to a VSID by examining the data frame against the classification table of the station. When the data frame is examined and the VSID of the data frame is contained in a classifier entry of the classification table, the VSID is associated with a QoS parameter set for transporting the data frame between peer LLC entities of the BSS.</p> |
