Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a modified version of the IEEE 802.11a protocol and evaluate its performance. The new protocol is a combination of the standard Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol of 802.11 and the Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) scheme, a novel, high capacity multicarrier modulation technique. The system can achieve higher throughput and shorter delays, owing to the division of the spectrum in a number of parallel codechannels.

Relay-volunteered multi-rate cooperative MAC protocol for IEEE 802.11 WLANs

In IEEE 802.11, the rate of a station (STA) is dynamically determined by link adaptation. Low-rate STAs tend to hog more channel time than high-rate STAs due to fair characteristics of carrier sense multiple access/collision avoidance, leading to ...
A study on the influence of transmission errors on WLAN IEEE 802.11 MAC performance

Since the advent of the first IEEE 802.11 standard for WLANs, several papers have been presented that evaluate the IEEE 802.11 DCF access method. In realistic WLAN environments frame errors usually occur due to non-ideal channel conditions; in this way, ...
Enhancing IEEE 802.11 MAC in congested environments

IEEE 802.11 is currently the most deployed wireless local area networking standard. It uses carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) to resolve contention between nodes. Contention windows (CW) change dynamically to adapt to the ...
