Performance Analysis of WLAN Using OPNET

چکیده
AbstractIn this paper analyze the performance of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), it is important to identify what types of network settings can cause bad performance. Low throughput, high packet loss rate, delayed round trip time (RTT) for packets, increased retransmissions, and increased collisions are the main attributes to look for when analyzing poor network performance. We use the OPNET Modeler to simulate the RTS/CTS mechanism to evaluate the performance of IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol. We have simulated two scenarios with and without RTS/CTS mechanism enabled on network nodes. We have concluded our findings by comparing the total WLAN retransmissions, data traffic sent/received, WLAN Delay of two scenarios. RTS/CTS mechanism is helpful to reduce the number of retransmissions if hidden node problem persists in network scenarios.

متن کاملComparative Performance Analysis of AODV,DSR, TORA and OLSR Routing Protocols in MANET Using OPNET
Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are receiving a significant interest and are becoming very popular in the world of wireless networks and telecommunication. MANETs consist of mobile nodes which can communicate with each other without any infrastructure or centralized administration. In MANETs, the movement of nodes is unpredictable and complex; thus making the routing of the packets challenging....
