Adaptive Optimal Frame Length Predictor for IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN

Tags:
local area networks (lan)

Overview This paper presents an optimal frame length predictor in terms of maximizing the channel utilization. Kalman filter is adopted to predict the optimal frame size under noisy wire-less channel. Wireless channel is dynamically time-varying and bursty caused by fading, noise and interference, shadowing, path loss and so forth. In order to combat the affect of wireless channel and provide Quality of Service (QoS), a lot of kinds of approaches are proposed. Link adaptation is one approach focusing on through building a reliable MAC and PHY layer to provide committed QoS. There are many research work focusing on this topic.

Offshoring - a new time and a new place for your IT?

The motivations for the two are not necessarily the same - outsourcing is typically justified in terms of focusing on core skills, or increasing visibility of cost, whereas offshoring has been driven by a simple desire to spend less money.
