Title
IEEE 802.11b WLAN performance with variable transmission rates: in view of high level throughput
Abstract
Wireless networks have been rapidly integrated with the wired Internet and have been widely deployed. In particular, IEEE 802.11b WLAN is the most widespread wireless network today. The IEEE 802.11b WLAN supports multiple transmission rates and the rate is chosen in an adaptive manner by an auto rate control algorithm. This auto rate control algorithm deeply affects the total system performance of the IEEE 802.11b WLAN. In this paper, we examine the WLAN performance with regard to the auto rate control algorithm, especially the ARF scheme, which is the most popular auto rate control algorithm in 802.11b based WLAN products. The experimental results indicate that the ARF scheme works well in the face of signal noise due to node location. However, the ARF scheme severely degrades system performance when multiple nodes contend to obtain the wireless channel and the packet is lost due to signal collision.
