Abstract

In recent year, the popularity of WLAN has generated much interests on improvement and performance analysis of the IEEE 802.11 protocol. In this paper, we analyze two medium access methods of the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol by investigating the MAC layer packet service times when arrival packet sizes have a general probability distribution. We use the M/G/1/K queueing model to analyze the throughput and the delay performance of IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol in a wireless LAN. We compare the performances of Basic access method and RTS/CTS access method. We take some numerical examples for the system throughput and the queue dynamics including the mean packet delay and packet blocking probability.

최근 무선 LAN의 인기로 IEEE 802.11 프로토콜의 성능 분석과 개선에 많은 관심이 생겨났다. 본 논문에서는 도착하는 패킷의 크기가 일반 확률분포를 가질 때 MAC 계층 패킷 서비스 시간을 조사하여 IEEE 802.11 프로토콜의 두 가지 매체 접속 방식을 분석한다. 무선 LAN에서 IEEE 802.11 프로토콜의 수율 및 지연 성능을 분석하기 위해 M/G/1/K 큐잉 모델을 사용한다. 두 가지 접속 방법, 기본 접속과 RTS/CTS 접속 방식의 성능을 비교한다. 그리고 시스템의 수율 및 평균 패킷 지연과 패킷 블록킹 확률을 포함하여 큐의 동작 상태를 보기 위한 여러가지 수치예를 보여준다.
