In the conventional IEEE 802.11 medium access control protocol, the distributed coordination function is designed for the wireless stations (WSs) to perform channel contention within the wireless local area networks (WLANs). Research work has been conducted to modify the random backoff mechanism in order to alleviate the packet collision problem while the WSs are contending for channel access. However,...
The next generation wireless local area networks (WLANs) with enhanced throughput performance have attracted significant amounts of attention in recent years. Based on the IEEE 802.11n standard, frame aggregation is considered one of the major factors to improve the system performance of WLANs from the medium access control perspective. In order to fulfill the requirements of the high throughput performance,...
Channel condition is considered an important issue that affects the performance in wireless networks. Link Adaptation techniques have been proposed to improve the degraded network performance by adjusting the design parameters, e.g. the modulation and coding schemes, in order to adopt the dynamically changing channel conditions. Furthermore, due to the advancement of the IEEE 802.11n standard, the...
In conventional IEEE 802.11 medium access control protocol, the distributed coordination function is designed for the wireless stations (WSs) to perform channel contention within the wireless local area networks (WLANs). Packet collision is considered one of the major issues within this type of contention-based scheme, which can severely degrade the network performance for the WLANs. Research work...
In recent years, cooperative communication has been proposed as a new communication paradigm that incorporates a relay node to assist the direct point-to-point transmission. By exploiting the cooperative diversity, different types of techniques have been proposed to improve the transmission reliability from the physical layer perspective, e.g. the cooperative automatic repeat request. However, owing...
The design of an efficient handover technique is considered as one of the crucial topics in the cellular-based wireless networks. Feasible handover process can minimize the performance degradation as the mobile device is moving between different base stations. Based on the IEEE 802.16e standard, it is required to provide satisfactory handover performance under a wide-range of moving speeds of the...
