چکیده
Wireless local area network (WLAN’s) using single channel have limited bandwidth. Channel interference between Access Points (APs) of WLAN also decreases the network throughput. The solution of this problem is to transmit data simultaneously on multiple channels is considered as an alternative. In this paper, we propose a channel assignment algorithm for wireless local area network (WLAN) to analyse and enhance the network performance. The proposed algorithm finds the best suitable channel assignment option in order to attain desired performance. We use the RIVERBED MODELER simulator to simulate the WLAN environment with different channel assignment schemes. Simulation results with fixed and mobile (STA) stations demonstrate that our proposed channel assignment algorithm improve the network throughput 2 times higher as compare to other channel assignment schemes.

Performance Analysis of Binary Negative-Exponential Backoff Algorithm in IEEE 802.11a WLAN under Erroneous Channel Condition
IEEE 802.11 is the most famous protocol for implementation of wireless local area network (WLAN). To access the medium, IEEE 802.11 uses carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) mechanism, called distributed coordination function (DCF). Although DCF uses binary exponential backoff (BEB) algorithm to avoid frame collisions, wireless resources are wasted due to a lot of co...

A new multi-layer substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) structure is developed to design dual-band evanescent-mode band-pass filters (BPFs). Two independent series LC circuits are implemented by incorporating metallic irises in the different layers of the structure. The combination of the metallic irises with capacitive-plates is embedded inside the SIW to independently excite two evane...

In this paper, a channel-assignment algorithm at the Access Points (APs) of a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is proposed in order to maximize Signal-to-Interference Ratio (SIR) at the user level. We start with an initial channel assignment based on minimizing the total interference between APs. Based on this assignment, we calculate the SIR for each user. Then, another channel assignment is...
متن کاملMulti-rated Packet Transmission Scheme for IEEE 802.11 WLAN Networks
In a multirate wireless network such as IEEE 802.11 WLAN, the connection having a good channel condition uses a high transmission rate and the connection having a poor channel condition uses a low transmission rate. However, this coexistence of different transmission rates degrades the total system performance of the network. In order to eliminate this performance abnormality and improve protoc...
