Efficiency analysis of IEEE 802.11 protocol with block acknowledge and frame aggregation
نویسنده
چکیده
The article presents data transmission methods in IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN standard, including transmission efficiency improving methods like block acknowledge and two variants of frame aggregation. On the basis of their operation, an analytical model is derived which allows for estimation of protocol efficiency and effective throughput under perfect conditions for various protocol parameters. With this model, all transmission methods are analysed for their efficiency for two currently used physical layers, namely, OFDM (802.11a/g) and HT (802.11n). The calculation results are presented on graphs and discussed. Finally, so-called throughput upper limit is calculated for all the methods considered in the paper.

Throughput and Delay Performance of IEEE 802.11e Wireless LAN with Block Acknowledgments
The IEEE 802.11e standard extension for medium access control protocol in wireless local area networks enhances the existing IEEE 802.11 protocol specification towards support for quality of service and improved spectrum management. We look in this paper specifically into an 802.11e concept that is referred to as block acknowledgment. Unlike the original 802.11, where every frame reception must...
متن کاملEfficient dynamic frame aggregation in IEEE 802.11s mesh networks
IEEE 802.11n could improve the network efficiency of WLAN by aggregating multiple frames into a single transmission. The frame aggregation technique especially benefits multi-hop transmissions that introduce enormous 802.11 medium access control (MAC) layer control overhead. This paper proposes a novel algorithm, namely dynamic aggregation selection and scheduling (DASS) algorithm, that can dyn...
متن کاملA MAC Throughput in the Wireless LAN
Over the past few years, mobile networks have emerged as a promising approach for future mobile IP applications. With limited frequency resources, designing an effective MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol is a hot challenge. IEEE 802.11b/g/a/n networks are currently the most popular wireless LAN products on the market [1]. The conventional IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g/a specification provide up t...
متن کاملA performance analysis of block ACK scheme for IEEE 802.11e networks
The demand for the IEEE 802.11 wireless local-area networks (WLANs) has been drastically increasing along with many emerging applications and services over WLAN. However, the IEEE 802.11 medium access control (MAC) is known to be limited in terms of its throughput performance due to the high MAC overhead, such as interframe spaces (IFS) or per-frame based acknowledgement (ACK) frame transmissio...
متن کاملAn SSCOP-based link layer protocol for wireless LANs
The IEEE 802.11 standard provides fast recovery from frame losses using a rapid link level positive acknowledgment scheme. However, the adoption of positive acknowledgment leads to inefficient frame transmission. To improve efficiency of the acknowledgments mechanism in IEEE 802.11, we propose a novel link layer protocol for wireless LANs. The proposed protocol is an adaptation of an ATM-based...
