Abstract

Currently, the IEEE 802.11n wireless local-area network (WLAN) has been broadly deployed world-wide for flexible and high-speed Internet access communications. Since it uses the limited number of partially overlapping channels (POCs) at 2.4 GHz band, the throughput performance is often degraded by interferences from signals of other WLANs. Thus, we have studied throughput drop estimation models for concurrently communicating multiple links under interferences, where the 40 MHz channel bonding (CB) and 20 MHz non-CB are considered separately. We have observed that the simultaneous use of CB and non-CB can improve the performance by enhancing the channel capacity while reducing the interference. In this paper, we study the throughput drop estimation model for concurrently communicating links under coexistence of CB and non-CB in IEEE 802.11n WLAN. The model accuracy is verified by comparing the estimated throughput with the measured one under various network topologies.
