Abstract

This paper explores the throughput performance of CSMA/CA-based DCF protocol over frequency-selective, slow Ricean fading channels with both the $E_{b}/N_{o}$ and BER at the MAC layer in the 802.1 la wireless LAN. By exploring the throughput of DCF protocol with the data rate of 6Mbps, 12 Mbps, 24 Mbps and 54 Mbps, we find the fact that the higher the $E_{b}/N_{o}$ be and the less the BER be, the higher the throughput be.

본 논문애서는 IEEE 802.11a 무선 LAN에서 주파수 선택적이고 완만하게 변하는 Ricean 페이딩 채널환경을 고려하여 $E_{b}/N_{o}$ 및 BER에 따른 MAC(Medium Access Control) 계층의 CSMA/CA 기반 DCF(Distributed Coordination Function) 처리율을 분석하였다. 또한 처리율을 분석하는 데 단말수 및 MSDU(MAC SDU) 크기도 고려하였으며 IEEE 802.11a의 필수 전송속도인 6, 12, 24Mbps 및 54Mbps급에 대하여 검토한 결과 $E_{b}/N{o}$가 증가할 수록 BER이 감소할수록 처리율은 증가한다는 것을 알 수 있다.
