Abstract

In this paper, parameters such as basic data rate, packet size as well as MAC scheme that restrict saturation throughput were studied in details. An analytical model has been developed based on theoretical analysis and experimental study to predict the throughput performance in IEEE 802.11b WLANs. Impact of mobility on the throughput performance was also evaluated for any deployment of WLAN. Subsequently, the throughput performance analytical model was modified to predict throughput performance in any physical environment taking into account the effect of channel conditions. Measurements were conducted in parallel to verify the analysis and modifications were made to the theoretical model for realistic scenario.
