WiFi is one of the most widely deployed networking technologies, and understanding WiFi performance is therefore of great importance. The WiFi MAC layer sometimes introduces significant and variable delays. No existing models of the WiFi protocol describe WiFi performance in terms of complete latency distributions. In this work, we present a novel model of WiFi performance. We explicitly define our model in terms of the latency introduced at each step in the protocol state machine, and the model produces complete latency distributions. We validate the model by comparing its outputs to previous modeling work and real-world measurements. Finally, we use our results to quantify the latency distribution of WiFi as a function of the duration of transmit opportunities and the number of stations competing for the channel. Quantifying this relation represents a significant improvement in our understanding of WiFi performance that would not be possible with existing models. |
