Packet Fragmentation in Wi-Fi Ad Hoc Networks With Correlated Channel Failures
Overview This paper presents an analytical method for estimating the saturation throughput of an 802.11 ad hoc LAN called also the Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) LAN in the presence of noise distorting transmitted frames. This is the first method that allows studying analytically the Wi-Fi network performance with consideration of correlated channel failures usually inherent to wireless channels. With the study, the paper considers the possible packet fragmentation that can be adopted to reduce the performance waste caused by noise-induced distortions. In addition to the throughput, the method allows estimating the probability of a packet rejection occurring when the number of packet transmission retries attains its limit.
