A comparative simulation study of rate adaptation algorithms in wireless LANs

Abstract: Wireless channel condition varies quickly and unpredictably, which is the main reason leading to the low performance of 802.11 wireless local area networks. One effective way to overcome the above problem is rate adaptation, which adaptively selects an appropriate transmission rate according to current channel conditions. A number of rate adaptation algorithms have been proposed in the literatures. However, few of them have been thoroughly evaluated by simulations. It is necessary to conduct a comparative stud… Show more

“…The analysis shows that WLAN performance optimization is possible through optimal selection of different physical parameters (such as antenna configurations, guard interval between symbols, and modulation coding method) as a function of SNR. Various hybrid link adaptation proposals for WLAN [4] [19] [8] [6], succeefully improved the throughput of the system. However, our analysis shows that only the inclusion of multiple physical parameters in the link adaptation mechanism not necessarily gives better performance.…”

“…When frequency hop is used alone, a high-throughput overhead and pre-sharing of key for channel selection is required. Similarly, to overcome jammer in rate adaptation (RA) [ 14 , 15 ], the transmitter forced to operate at the lowest transmission rate if jammer exists in between two legitimate users. So when these techniques are used separately, the performance shown is to be ineffective.…”

“…The wireless sensor network becomes a promising technology for transmission line online monitoring due to its low cost, easy installation, large‐scale coverage, and fault tolerance characteristics . There have been some experimental studies on performance of wireless sensor network platforms in the power system environment , and the paper analyzes the performance of the Mica2 motes in a linear aligned wireless sensor network for long distance overhead power lines. The paper presents an experimental study on the wireless link assessment in different electric power systems including a 500 kv sub‐station.…”
