It is evaluated under the fading wireless channel, using theoretical analysis method. It is analyzed by using the number of stations with both variable payload size and mobile speed on the condition that fading margin and transmission probability are fixed. Especially, in the IEEE 802.11n, A-MSDU (MAC Service Data Unit Aggregation) scheme is considered and the number of subframe is used as the variable parameter. In the IEEE802.11a/g wireless LAN, fixed wireless channel is assumed to be Rayleigh fading channel. Mobile wireless channel is assumed to be flat fading Rayleigh channel with Jake spectrum. The channel is in fading states or inter-fading states by evaluating a certain threshold value of received signal power level. If and only if the whole frame is in inter-fading state, there is the successful frame transmission. If any part of frame is in fading duration, the frame is received in error.展开更多

Instead of solely examining the average received SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) value of a packet, considering the whole distribution of the average received SNR allows us to aggregate a better selection of the mode switching thresholds in the rate adaptive 802.11 a/g WLAN. This paper demonstrates that the set of mode switching thresholds can be determined for each individual target , so that the optimal throughput performance is obtained on a per target basis. Numerical results show that mode switching thresholds should be reduced with the lowering of target values. This conclusion could have significant implications for improving the performances of location (distance)-dependent mobile applications, since the determinations of target values are closely related to the distances between mobile devices and the access point.展开更多
