Integrated Performance Analysis of PCF and DCF Schemes Over IEEE 802.11a Physical Layer

Overview IEEE 802.11a is one of the latest Physical layer (PHY) standards to be released by the IEEE 802.11 working group. Currently, it offers the highest data rate for the wireless LAN. Even though the channel bandwidth has significantly increased with this standard, the mechanism used to govern media access is still based on the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol. The standard caters for random access through Distributed Coordinated Function (DCF) as well as centralised mediated access through Point Coordination Function (PCF). In this paper, an integrated performance investigation is carried out of standard PCF and DCF over the IEEE 802.11a PHY.
