Media broadcasting services using Internet protocol (IP) multicast are emerging and IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN (WLAN) has been widely deployed. Therefore, the opportunities to receive multicast streaming over WLAN are expected to grow. However, because of restrictions on the IEEE 802.11 standard, the transmission rate and the reliability of multicast over WLAN are lower than those of unicast. In this...
We propose QUEST (QUality ESTimation), a new method that accurately estimates IEEE 802.11 wireless link quality with no in-band signaling overhead. Existing link quality estimation methods either are based on hello exchanges by fixing or varying transmission rates or rely on the history (e.g., delivery ratio) of previously sent data packets in a per-rate/-neighbor manner. QUEST on the other hand,...
A scheme that exploits the broadcast nature of the wireless communication in order to achieve multicast content delivery is presented in this paper. As opposed to broadcasting, this method enables the clients to determine on-line the delivered content, and thus preserves the advantages of an individual service. On the other hand, a multicast content delivery is much more efficient than a unicast content...
With recent improvements in physical layer (PHY) techniques, the achievable capacity for wireless LANs (WLANs) has grown significantly. However, the overhead of IEEE 802.11 MAC layer has limited the actual throughput of a WLAN. A-MPDU aggregation suggested in IEEE 802.11n draft is a key enhancement reducing the protocol timing overheads that enables aggregation of several MAC-level protocol data units...
