  • improved ieee 802 11 point coordination function considering fiber delay difference in distributed antenna systems
    International Conference on Communications, 2014
    Co-Authors: Yuting Fan, Nathan J. Gomes, Yitang Dai, Feifei Yin
    Abstract:

    In this paper, we present an improved IEEE 802.11 wireless local-area network (WLAN) medium access control (MAC) mechanism for simulcast radio-over-fiber-based distributed antenna systems where multiple remote antenna units (RAUs) are connected to one access point (AP). In the improved mechanism, the fiber delay between RAUs and central unit is taken into account in a modification to the conventional point coordination function (PCF) that achieves coordination by a centralized algorithm. Simulation results show that the improved PCF outperforms the distributed coordination function (DCF) in both the basic-access and request/clear-to-send modes in terms of the total throughput and the fairness among RAUs.

  • analysis of the request to send clear to send exchange in wlan over fiber networks
    Journal of Lightwave Technology, 2008
    Co-Authors: Majlinda Mjeku, Nathan J. Gomes
    Abstract:

    A study of the effect of the optical path delay on the effectiveness of the request to send/clear to send (RTS/CTS) exchange in high-speed IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN (WLAN) over fiber networks has been carried out. It is shown that although the fiber delay might violate some of the timing boundaries of the medium access control (MAC) protocol, with a careful choice of the RTS threshold parameter, which determines when the RTS/CTS is used, these networks can benefit significantly from the four-way handshake even without the need for modifying the existing protocol.

  • Performance analysis of 802.11e transmission bursting in fiberfed networks
    2008 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium, 2008
    Co-Authors: M. Mjeku, Nathan J. Gomes
    Abstract:

    A burst transmission mechanism has been defined in the IEEE 802.11e medium access control extension in order to reduce the overheads in protocol operation and improve efficiency. In this paper, we analyze the throughput and delay performance when this mechanism is used with the immediate acknowledgment policy in a fiber-fed wireless LAN (WLAN). It is shown that the extra propagation delay caused by the optical distribution network in the system affects the burst transmission operation in the presence or otherwise of channel errors and affects the optimum thresholds for switching between the basic access and the request-to-send/clear-to-send (RTS/CTS) modes. It is also shown that significant throughput and media access delay improvements can be gained by the use of burst transmission in contention based 802.11e fiber-fed WLANs, regardless of the load in the network.

  • SMC - Modeling network bandwidth of IEEE 802.11 wireless local area networks
    2005 IEEE International Conference on Systems Man and Cybernetics, 1
    Co-Authors: Hua Lin, Liang Cheng
    Abstract:

    IEEE 802.11 specifies a standard for physical and MAC layers of wireless local area networks (WLANs). In this paper, network bandwidth of an IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network, defined as an aggregated saturated throughput of the network, is studied in both cases of request-to-send/clear-to-send (RTS/CTS) access method and the basic method. A theoretical model for calculating the network bandwidth from signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) is proposed and it is evaluated by both simulations and experiments. The result shows that the model is very accurate in measuring or predicting the dynamical network bandwidth of an IEEE 802.11 WLAN when the SNR is higher than 2MB.
