Protocol stack and capacity modeling for WLAN

Queuing theoretical modeling is a commonly used method for load/capacity analyses of computer networks. This work presents a model for WLAN. In contrast to other works that offer analytical models aiming at general insights to WLAN MAC properties (e.g. [6-9]), an empirical model for capacity analysi...

Summary:Queuing theoretical modeling is a commonly used method for load/capacity analyses of computer networks. This work presents a model for WLAN. In contrast to other works that offer analytical models aiming at general insights to WLAN MAC properties (e.g. [6-9]), an empirical model for capacity analysis under concrete load conditions was developed. The model accounts for relevant communication problems on the OSI-layers 1-4. The presented work appeared within the scope of the network design environment CANDY Framework as one of multiple contributions under the subject ,,Wireless networks and their dimensioning".
