An Experimental Study on the Capture Effect in 802.11a Networks

Tags:
mobile - wireless communications

Overview In wireless networks, a frame collision does not necessarily result in all the simultaneously transmitted frames being lost. Depending on the relative signal power and the arrival timing of the involved frames, one frame can survive the collision and be successfully received by the receiver. Using the IEEE 802.11a wireless network testbed, the paper carries out a measurement study that shows the terms and conditions (timing, power difference, bit rate) under which this capture effect takes place.
