Abstract:Abstract-Link quality based rate adaptation which aims at link throughput optimization has been used widely for IEEE 802.11 networks. However, from system perspective network performance is affected by not only link quality but also random channel access at the MAC layer. Selection of transmit mode for optimal link throughput can cause performance loss of MAC throughput. In this paper we investigate this issue and propose a generalized cross-layer rate adaptation algorithm which considers jointly link quality … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
