The effect of two important MAC parameters on performance of IEEE 802.11ac and 802.11n based wireless local area networks (WLANs) have been investigated experimentally. In the first experiment set-up, effects of Request to Send/Clear to Send (RTS/CTS) packets on throughput performance are observed a...
