Abstract :
This paper investigates the performance enhancement of IEEE 802.11 used in a radio-over-fiber architecture. It is shown that data throughput can be improved by modifying the ACK timeout value and the slottime parameter value defined in IEEE 802.11. In this study, both UDP and TCP packet transmission were taken into account.
