Throughput enhancemnet with optimal fragmented MSDU size for fragmentation and aggregation scheme in WLANs

Abstract

The fragmentation and aggregation (F&A) algorithm improves the throughput while ensuring the reliability in the MAC layer. To determining the optimal fragment size is a key issue of effectively operating the F&A algorithm. In this paper, the proposed method selects the optimal fragmented frame size and uses aggregation scheme based on various channel conditions. As a result the throughput can be further increased.
