Analysis of Protocol Capacity of IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol

Date: January 2008
Type: White Paper
Rating: (0)

Overview: This paper focuses on the IEEE 802.11 WLAN MAC and analysis of the efficiency of this protocol. It then discusses the algorithms which can be used or modified to increase the overall throughput and performance. The most common 802.11 standards include the initial IEEE 802.11 standard which used the 2.4 GHz band and provided data rates up to 2 Mbps. The IEEE 802.11b provides data rates up to 11 Mbps while using the same spectrum as the initial standard. It also uses the same DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) techniques.
