摘要: We study the MAC performance of IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network (LAN) under condition that traffic load at access point is much heavier than stations. found throughput in this scenario keeps dropping with increase load, which very different from other studies all stations have same load. propose an adaptive algorithm to adapt layer settings The simulation shows improve significantly.
