Measurment and analysis on QoS of wireless LAN densely deployed with transmission rate control

This paper investigates Quality of Service (QoS) of the personal mobile wireless LANs (m-WLANs). The situations in the m-WLANs differs from the situations in the normal use of WLANs; the access point (AP) and the associated terminals (TEs) are in proximity. In the m-WLANs, the capture effect (CE) significantly affects on the throughput performance. To measure the impact on the QoS by the CE, the experimental study considering the interference from other power sources (APs and TEs) are required. However, since it is difficult to understand the detailed relationships between the QoS factors, the analytical calculations were also performed. With the experimental and analytical results, we demonstrated that the auto rate fallback algorithm of WLAN causes degradation of the QoS performance. We propose two transmission rates controlling schemes to improve the QoS performance.
