Abstract :
To achieve ultra high data rate communications in 60 GHz Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs), frame aggregation is devised in IEEE 802.15.3c to increase the MAC transmission efficiency. In this work, we propose a novel statistical model to analyze the behavior of two types of frame aggregation mechanisms: standard frame aggregation and low latency frame aggregation. Through our model, we could fully understand the performance of the frame aggregation mechanisms in terms of transmission delay and system capacity. The accuracy of our model is validated by extensive simulations. Our work provides valuable insights for ultra high performance transmission using 60 GHz radio.
