802.11e
IEEE 802.11e is a developing IEEE standard for MAC enhancements to support QoS. It provides a mechanism to prioritize traffic within 802.11. It defines allowed changes in the Arbitration Interframe Space, a minimum and maximum Contention Window size, and the maximum length (in kµsec) of a burst of data.
IEEE 802.11e is still a draft IEEE standard (most recent version is D5.0, July 2003). A currently available subset of 802.11e is the Wireless Multimedia Enhancements (WME) standard.

802.11i
IEEE 802.11i is a developing IEEE standard for security in a wireless local area network (WLAN). It defines enhancements to the MAC Layer to counter the some of the weaknesses of WEP. 802.11i will incorporate 802.1x and stronger encryption techniques, such as Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
IEEE 802.11i is still a draft IEEE standard (most recent version is D5.0, August 2003). A currently available subset of 802.11i is the
