Modeling Throughput Performance in 802.11 WLAN

چکیده
This paper presents a mathematical framework for maximizing throughput in Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) channels using key system design parameters such as packet length and transmission rate. We study the tradeoff between the throughput and choice of some design variables through extensive computer simulation. We observe from the simulation results that the design parameters are highly signal dependent and can dynamically be adapted to improve the overall system performance, principally in the area of data transmission and reception in WLAN channels.

IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control(MAC) is proposed to support asynchronous and time bounded delivery of radio data packets in infrastructure and ad hoc networks. The basis of the IEEE 802.11 WLAN MAC protocol is Distributed Coordination Function(DCF), which is a Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance(CSMA/CA) with binary slotted exponential back-off scheme. Since IEEE 802.11 MAC...

متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Flows with Diverse Traffic and Transmission Rates in IEEE 802.11 WLAN
IEEE 802.11 WLAN cannot guarantee the QoS of applications, thus admission control has been proposed as an essential solution to enhance the QoS. Packet delay and throughput are commonly employed as assessment criterions to determine whether a new connection can be admitted into the WLAN. Considering the real network condition, the analytical model is presented in this paper, which is aimed to e...

IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) guarantees fair transmission opportunity to stations. Channel occupation of low rate stations in IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) causes the performance anomaly resulting in the degradation of overall network throughput. Using cooperative communications between a high rate station and a low rate station, performance anomaly can b...
