Mobile Wireless System Interworking With 3G and Packet Aggregation for Wireless LAN

Overview The research discussed in this paper considered the efficient transmission of data within a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) system. A simulation model was developed to study the performance of the protocol, AGG-MAC (AGGregated Medium Access Control). AGG-MAC is a simple and elegant Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol designed to improve performance by transmitting a maximal quantity of data with minimal overhead. The enhancement to IEEE 802.11, AGG-MAC yields dramatic improvements in both local and global throughput. It furthermore reduces jitter in support of real time communications requirements such as Voice over IP (VoIP).
