ABSTRACT
We develop an analytical model of rate adaptive Wireless LAN and downlink traffic flows to randomly located users in the range of an access point. We first calculate the service time distribution of packets being served by the access point. Then, we show that the location of each user determines the throughput that all other users may achieve. Finally we verify our findings with simulations.

Adaptive coordination function for IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs
Multiple access control (MAC) protocols play a significant role in wireless LANs. The IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol specifies two coordination functions that are Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) and Point Coordination Function (PCF). While both DCF ...
Performance analysis of a Multiuser Multi-Packet Transmission system for WLANs in non-saturation conditions
Multiuser Multi-Packet Transmission (MPT) from an Access Point (AP) equipped with multiple antennas to multiple single-antenna nodes can be achieved by exploiting the spatial dimension of the channel. In this paper we present a queueing model to ...
Throughput analysis and measurement on real terminal in multi-rate wireless LAN
ICUIMC '12: Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Ubiquitous Information Management and CommunicationIEEE802.11 wireless LAN system has several transmission rates (multi-rate).The appropriate rate should be chosen to obtain maximum Quality of Service (QoS) such as throughput. The throughput is determined by two factors; one is retransmission delay and ...
