Packet concatenation at the IP level for performance enhancement in wireless local area networks

Wireless local area networks experience performance degradation in presence of small packets. The main reason for that is the large overhead added at the physical and link layers. This paper proposes a concatenation algorithm which groups IP layer packets prior to transmission, called PAC-IP. As a result, the overhead added at the physical and the link layers is shared among the grouped packets. Along with performance improvement, PAC-IP enables packet-based fairness in medium access as well as includes QoS support module handling delay-sensitive traffic demands. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated through both simulations and an experimental WLAN testbed environment covering the single-hop and the widespread infrastructure network scenarios. Obtained results underline significant performance enhancement in different operating scenarios and channel conditions.

Arbitration Interframe Space‐controlled Medium Access Control: a medium access control protocol guaranteeing absolute priority in wireless local area networks

The demand for multimedia services, such as voice over Internet Protocol, video on demand, information dissemination, and ?le sharing, is increasing explosively in wireless local area networks. These multimedia services require a certain level of QoS. Thus, it is important to provide QoS for multimedia applications. IEEE 802.11e tries to meet the QoS requirement of multimedia services by using Enhanced Distributed Channel Access. This gives more weights to high‐priority tra?c than low‐priority tra?c in accessing the wireless channel. However, Enhanced Distributed Channel Access suffers from many problems such as low aggregate throughput, high collision rates, and ineffective QoS differentiation among priority classes. In this paper, we propose a new medium access scheme, the Arbitration Interframe Space‐controlled Medium Access Control (AC‐MAC), that guarantees absolute priority in 802.11 wireless networks. In AC‐MAC, the AIFS and contention window values are controlled, so that a higher‐priority tra?c can preferentially access and effectively utilize the channel. Extensive simulations show that AC‐MAC can perfectly provide absolute priority and good throughput performance regardless of the number of contending nodes. In the simulation of voice over Internet Protocol service, AC‐MAC provides effective QoS differentiation among services and also meets the high level of QoS requirements. AC‐MAC also adapts quickly in a dynamic environment and provides good fairness among the nodes belonging to the same priority class. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Enhancing channel utilization by improving media access coordination in wireless local area networks

Distributed coordination function (DCF) is the basis protocol for IEEE 802.11 standard wireless local area networks. It is based on carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) mechanism. DCF uses backoff process to avoid collisions on the wireless channel. The main drawback with this process is that packets have to spend time in the backoff process which is an additional overhead in their transmission time. The channel is rendered idle when all the stations defer their transmissions due to their backoff process. Therefore, the channel utilization and the total throughput on the channel can be improved by reducing the average time spent by the packets in the backoff process. In this paper, we propose a new media access coordination function called proposed media access protocol (PMAP) that will improve the channel utilization for successful packet transmission and therefore, the total achievable throughput. In addition, we propose an analytical model for PMAP under saturated conditions. We use this model to analyze the performance of PMAP under saturated conditions. To substantiate the effectiveness of our model, we have verified the model by simulating PMAP in NS‐2. Simulation and analytical results show that under saturated conditions, PMAP shows profound improvement in the throughput performance compared to DCF. In addition, the throughput performance of PMAP under unsaturated conditions is presented. We have also presented the delay performance of PMAP and DCF through simulation in both saturated and unsaturated conditions. Simulation results show that the average delay experienced by the packets is less in PMAP compared to DCF. Further, the variance in the packet delay is same for both PMAP and DCF protocols under unsaturated conditions. From the performance results obtained for PMAP under both saturated and unsaturated conditions, it can be concluded that PMAP is superior in performance compared to DCF.

Impact of bursty error rates on the performance of wireless local area network (WLAN)

With an increasing popularity of DCF based wireless LAN, the modeling of 802.11 distributed coordination function (DCF) has attracted lots of research attention. Existing analysis of 802.11 DCF has been focused on the determination of the throughput and the packet delay under saturated traffic and ideal channel conditions. Although some recent papers address the saturated performance under a simple uniform error model, they can hardly capture the impact of bursty characteristics of wireless fading on the performance of 802.11 DCF. This paper presents exact formulae for the throughput and the delay in DCF for various traffic conditions when either saturated or unsaturated traffic load is present. A two-state Markov channel model is incorporated to present the bursty characteristics of channel errors. With our analysis, the impact of bursty channel error on unsuccessful transmission probability and the DCF performance can be determined. The results of our analytical framework reveal that the four-way handshaking scheme does not improve throughput substantially for light traffic load. However, for heavy traffic load, the four-way handshaking scheme is advantageous as compared to the basic access scheme. Also, extensive simulation is done to substantiate the accuracy of our analytical model.
