Abstract :
We have compared different performance measures of the two standardized WLANs, IEEE 802.11 and ETSI HIPERLAN type 1. Two essential performance-limitation factors have been considered: the BER of the fading air medium and the number of stations in the ad-hoc network. Regarding the HIPERLAN 1, most of the performance measures are insensitive to the number of stations due to the more sophisticated but complex EY-NPMA MAC protocol. However, its high overhead redundancy causes great throughput degradation as the BER is increased. The relatively simple and low overhead CSMA/CD protocol in the IEEE 802.11 suffers from many collisions at higher loads, producing high sensitiveness to the number of stations
