Binary Symmetric Channel Based Aggregation with Coding for 802.11n WLANs

چکیده
In this paper we present the first detailed theoretical analysis of the potential performance gains of adopting a BSC paradigm in 802.11 WLANs. Importantly, we also consider the multi-user channel aspect of a WLAN i.e. that transmissions are inherently broadcast in nature. We find that increases in network throughput of more than 100% are possible over a wide range of SNRs. These performance gains are achieved exclusively through software rather than hardware changes.

Multi-destination Aggregation with Binary Symmetric Broadcast Channel Based Coding in 802.11 WLANs
In this paper we consider the potential benefits of adopting a binary symmetric broadcast channel paradigm for multi-destination aggregation in 802.11 WLANs, as opposed to a more conventional packet erasure channel paradigm. We propose two approaches for multi-destination aggregation, i.e. superposition coding and a simpler time-sharing coding. Theoretical and simulation results for both unicas...

متن کاملCoding in 802.11 WLANs
Forward error correction (FEC) coding is widely used in communication systems to correct transmission errors. In IEEE 802.11a/g transmitters, convolutional codes are used for FEC at the physical (PHY) layer. As is typical in wireless systems, only a limited choice of pre-specified coding rates is supported. These are implemented in hardware and thus difficult to change, and the coding rates are...
