A Fuzzy Controller to Optimize a Wireless Network Environment

Abstract

In areas where there are large numbers of devices it's essential to continuously run a process of performance analysis in wireless networks. This is necessary if many devices attempt to transfer large amounts of data, or occupy the channel over long periods as this will probably degrade the capacity and performance of the network. Thus, this research presents a model to manage the parameters that can influence the quality of a wireless network environment, minimizing the loss of performance. The proposed model uses a fuzzy controller to dynamically adjust the maximum frame size that can be transmitted according to the characteristics of the transmission medium. The initial results of this research show that it is possible to enhance the performance of wireless networks by controlling parameters that have influence in the quality of the network.
