324Mbps WLAN equipment with MAC frame aggregation

We developed a high speed wireless LAN prototype in the 5 GHz band. Maximum transmission rate of the developed WLAN equipment was 324 Mbit/sec using 6 multi-channels of 802.11a. We proposed a novel frame aggregation scheme to improve MAC efficiency. The proposed frame aggregation scheme had a featur...

Summary:We developed a high speed wireless LAN prototype in the 5 GHz band. Maximum transmission rate of the developed WLAN equipment was 324 Mbit/sec using 6 multi-channels of 802.11a. We proposed a novel frame aggregation scheme to improve MAC efficiency. The proposed frame aggregation scheme had a feature of an adaptive aggregation size selection depending on wireless channel conditions and application requirements. Throughput performance was simulated in the case of multiple stations with the proposed frame aggregation. The evaluated system throughput was achieved more than 150 Mbit/sec in the case of 10 STAs. It is found that throughput of the developed equipment was measured to be more than 170 Mbit/sec using the proposed frame aggregation
