This paper contributes to the issue of QoS differentiation in wireless ad hoc networks. The focus is on the IEEE 802.11e MAC protocol that we propose to enhance by introducing a mechanism to "dynamically" assign priorities to traffic. Priorities are hop-by-hop assigned according to network resource availability and load in order to satisfy throughput requirements of each class of traffic
