Abstract :
This paper investigates performance of the medium access control (MAC) protocol in MPR/IEEE 802.11n over fiber network. A closed-form expression for the maximum throughput is derived. Based on the presented model effects of the number of antennas used by remote antenna units (RAUs), fiber propagation delay and network size on the performance of MAC is analyzed and illustrated. The achieved results show that this system is considerably capable to increase throughput more than the physical layer (PHY) data rate. All results are presented for two state of channels; ideal and error-prone.
