针对无线局域网中MAC层吞吐量受限的问题,分析了802.11n帧聚合机制和差错信道下采用DCF接入机制时系统饱和吞吐量,讨论了帧长度、误码率对系统吞吐量的影响。在此基础上,提出一种帧长自适应的二级帧聚合方法。该方法根据误码率的不同,自适应地调节第一级聚合数目,以使聚合长度在该误码率下达到最佳,从而使吞吐量达到最优。理论分析与仿真结果表明,在误码率多变的信道中,该方法与现有802.11n中的聚合方法相比,可以通过选择合适的帧聚合长度使吞吐量有较大提高。 相似文献

目前的IEEE 802.11标准在物理层提供了对多种发送速率的支持,然而在MAC层却没有规定速率自适应的方法。该文研究了高速IEEE 802.11 无线局域网中的速率自适应方案。首先,提出了EACK协议,EACK使用基本速率发送MAC头,并在ACK帧中携带信道信息,因而能够较快速地响应信道的变化,同时具有少的开销;其次,在EACK基础上,提出了一种恒定发送时间(CEACK)的策略,CEACK能够克服传统IEEE 802.11 DCF MAC协议的理论吞吐量上限,并且具有更好的时间公平性能,能够应用于高速的无线局域网。 相似文献

The aggregate MAC protocol data unit (A-MPDU) is one of the significant frame aggregation schemes to improve the performance for high-rate IEEE 802.11n/ac/ad wireless local area networks (WLANs). However, the performance of the A-MPDU scheme does not meet the user expectations because the frame length of the retransmitted A-MPDU will be inevitably and sharply reduced due to the effect of the lost subframe on the number of the aggregatable subframes (i.e., the aggregation level). To overcome this problem, an adaptive A-MPDU retransmission scheme with the two-level frame aggregation compensation is proposed. In this scheme, when the aggregation level of the retransmitted A-MPDU frame dramatically decreases, one of the appropriate two-level aggregation strategies is adaptively employed to compensate the length of the retransmitted A-MPDU frames according to the theoretical analysis of the throughput performance for the conventional A-MPDU scheme and two strategies of the two-level aggregate frame respectively. Simulations using ns-3 platform are performed and the results demonstrate that the proposed adaptive A-MPDU retransmission scheme can achieve higher throughput and medium access control (MAC) layer efficiency. 相似文献

The main goal of the IEEE 802.11n standard is to achieve a minimum throughput of 100 Mbps at the MAC service access point. This high throughput has been achieved via many enhancements in both the physical and MAC layers. A key enhancement at the MAC layer is frame aggregation in which the timing and headers overheads of the legacy MAC are reduced by aggregating multiple frames into a single large frame before being transmitted. Two aggregation schemes have been defined by the 802.11n standard, aggregate MAC service data unit (A-MSDU) and aggregate MAC protocol data unit (A-MPDU). As a consequence of the aggregation, new aggregation headers are introduced and become parts of the transmitted frame. Even though these headers are small compared to the legacy headers they still have a negative impact on the network performance, especially when aggregating frames of small payload. Moreover, the A-MSDU is highly influenced by the channel condition due mainly to lack of subframes sequence control and retransmission. In this paper, we have proposed an aggregation scheme (mA-MSDU) that reduces the aggregation headers and implements a retransmission control over the individual subframes at the MSDU level. The analysis and simulations results show the significance of the proposed scheme, specifically for applications that have a small frame size such as VoIP. 相似文献

In upcoming very high-speed wireless LANs (WLANs), the physical (PHY) layer rate may reach 600 Mbps. To achieve high efficiency at the medium access control (MAC) layer, we identify fundamental properties that must be satisfied by any CSMA-/CA-based MAC layers and develop a novel scheme called aggregation with fragment retransmission (AFR) that exhibits these properties. In the AFR scheme, multiple packets are aggregated into and transmitted in a single large frame. If errors happen during the transmission, only the corrupted fragments of the large frame are retransmitted. An analytic model is developed to evaluate the throughput and delay performance of AFR over noisy channels and to compare AFR with similar schemes in the literature. Optimal frame and fragment sizes are calculated using this model. Transmission delays are minimized by using a zero-waiting mechanism where frames are transmitted immediately once the MAC wins a transmission opportunity. We prove that zero-waiting can achieve maximum throughput. As a complement to the theoretical analysis, we investigate the impact of AFR on the performance of realistic application traffic with diverse requirements by simulations. We have implemented the AFR scheme in the NS-2 simulator and present detailed results for TCP, VoIP, and HDTV traffic. The AFR scheme described was developed as part of the IEEE 802.11n working group work. The analysis presented here is general enough to be extended to proposed schemes in the upcoming 802.11n standard. Trends indicated in this paper should extend to any well-designed aggregation schemes. 相似文献

In this paper, we analyze the effect of the frame aggregation level on the PCF (Point Coordination Function) MAC performance in IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs and analytically derive the optimal frame aggregation level for maximizing the PCF MAC performance. For various values of unit data frame size and transmission error probability, we propose the optimal frame aggregation levels. By computer simulations, we show that the derived optimal frame aggregation level significantly enhances the PCF MAC performance in IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs. 相似文献

IEEE 802.11n MAC Enhancement and Performance Evaluation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The IEEE 802.11-based WiFi wireless technology is one of the most promising technologies to provide ubiquitous networking
access. The IEEE 802.11 working group has always strived to improve this wireless technology through creating new amendments
to the base 802.11 standard. Recently, IEEE 802.11n amendment was created to enhance 802.11 for higher throughput operation.
Not only new Physical Layer enhancements are standardized, but new Medium Access Control Layer mechanism are also defined.
In this paper, we examine the network performance enhancement by the proposed 802.11n MAC layer features: aggregation, block
acknowledgement, and reverse direction mechanism. We implemented a new 802.11n module in the NS-2 simulation platform. The
simulation results demonstrated the effectiveness of 802.11n MAC layer enhancement. VoIP performance is effectively improved
with 802.11n MAC enhancement. 相似文献

The IEEE 802.11 MAC adopted a collision avoidance mechanism in which contending stations should wait a random backoff time before sending a frame. While the algorithm reduces the collision probability in general, a large number of stations may still experience heavy collisions thus decrease the throughput. In this paper, we propose a simple reservation scheme for enhancing the performance of multiple access in 802.11 MAC: when a transmitter sends a frame, if it has another frame to send in its output queue, it may reserve an additional time that is needed to send the next frame and receive an ACK for the frame. Thus a sender can occupy the medium for two data frames, while reducing the collision probability and improving channel utilization via the reservation. We develop a mathematical model to analyze the performance of proposed scheme, and perform simulations to evaluate its performance compared with the original MAC. 相似文献

Based on the IEEE 802.11n standard, frame aggregation is considered one of the major factors to improve system performance
of wireless local area networks (WLANs) from the medium access control (MAC) perspective. In order to fulfill the requirements
of high throughput performance, feasible design of automatic repeat request (ARQ) mechanisms becomes important for providing
reliable data transmission. In this paper, two MAC-defined ARQ schemes are proposed to consider the effect of frame aggregation
for the enhancement of network throughput. An aggregated selective repeat ARQ (ASR-ARQ) algorithm is proposed, which incorporates
the conventional selective repeat ARQ scheme with the consideration of frame aggregation. On the other hand, the aggregated
hybrid ARQ (AH-ARQ) protocol is proposed to further enhance throughput performance by adopting the Reed-Solomon block code
as the forward error correction (FEC) scheme. Novel analytical models based on the signal flow graph are established in order
to realize the retransmission behaviors of both schemes. Simulations are conducted to validate and compare the proposed ARQ
mechanisms with existing schemes based on service time distribution. Numerical results show that the proposed AH-ARQ protocol
outperforms the other retransmission schemes owing to its effective utilization of FEC mechanism. 相似文献

According to the amendment 5 of the IEEE 802.11 standard, 802.11n still uses the distributed coordination function (DCF) access method as mandatory function in access points and wireless stations (essentially to assure compatibility with previous 802.11 versions). This article provides an accurate two dimensional Markov chain model to investigate the throughput performance of IEEE 802.11n networks when frame aggregation and block acknowledgements (Block-ACK) schemes are adopted. Our proposed model considered packet loss either from collisions or channel errors. Further, it took anomalous slots and the freezing of backoff counter into account. The contribution of this work was the analysis of the DCF performance under error-prone channels considering both 802.11n MAC schemes and the anomalous slot in the backoff process. To validate the accuracy of our proposed model, we compared its mathematical simulation results with those obtained using the 802.11n DCF in the network simulator (NS-2) and with other analytical models investigating the performance of 802.11n DCF. Simulation results proved the accuracy of our model. 相似文献

Providing air-time usage fairness in IEEE 802.11 networks with the deficit transmission time (DTT) scheduler 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Rosario G. Garroppo Stefano Giordano Stefano Lucetti Luca Tavanti 《Wireless Networks》2007,13(4):481-495
Wireless systems based on the IEEE 802.11 standard are known to suffer a performance degradation when just a single station
in the network experiences bad channel conditions toward the Access Point (AP). This phenomenon, known as the “performance
anomaly”, is mainly due to the max-min throughput fairness of the CSMA/CA algorithm of the 802.11 MAC. The simple FIFO scheduling
policy usually implemented in the AP also contributes to this problem. In order to overcome the performance anomaly, we propose
the Deficit Transmission Time (DTT) scheduler. The aim of DTT is guaranteeing each station a fair medium usage in terms of
transmission time. This feature, directly related to the proportional fairness concept, allows to ideally achieve exact isolation
among the traffic flows addressed to different stations. DTT achieves this goal taking advantage of measurements of actual
frame transmission times. Experiments carried out using a prototype implementation of DTT are compared with analogous tests
performed with a classic FIFO queue of a commercial AP and a recently proposed traffic shaping scheme aimed at solving the
same 802.11 performance anomaly. 相似文献
