Validation of the IEEE 802.11 MAC model in the ns3 simulator using the EXTREME testbed
نویسندگان
چکیده
We validate the IEEE 802.11 MAC layer model in ns3 by means of measurements on the EXTREME testbed. We consider different scenarios: communications within a single pair of nodes, multi-user communications using either VoIP or saturated traffic, and communications in the presence of hidden nodes. For each scenario we describe in detail our testbed and simulation setup, and compare the results provided by the ns3 simulator with the performance measured on the testbed.

Packet error model for the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol
Packet error in the IEEE 802.11 network is one source of performance degradation and its variability. Most of the previous works study how collision avoidance and hidden terminals affect the IEEE 802.11 performance metrics, such as probability of a collision and saturation throughput. In this paper we focus on the effect of packet errors on capacity and variability of the IEEE 802.11 MAC protoc...

Abstract - This paper presents a new design of microwave microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) phase shifter for dual band wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. A bit is designed which product a constant phase shift of 11.25° by switching between two line that consist of 12 and 6 unitcells in each frequency band. A unitcell is constructed by gold membrane suspended over the coplanar ...
متن کاملAdaptive Backoff Algorithm for IEEE 802.11 MAC Protocol
A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes that can communicate directly over wireless media, without the need for a pre-configured infrastructure. Several approaches have been suggested to improve Quality of Service (QoS) in IEEE 802.11-based MANETs through modifying some of the IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) algorithms, such as the backoff algorithm that is used ...
متن کاملSnapshot of MAC, PHY and Propagation Models for IEEE 802.11 in Open-Source Network Simulators
Simulation is an essential component of the validation chain in the design of network protocols. Indeed, while simulation is not the only tool used for data networking research, it is extremely useful because it often allows research questions and prototypes to be explored at many orders-of-magnitude less cost and time than that required to experiment with real implementations and networks. In ...
