Abstract

This paper analyzes the rate adaptation scheme and suggests applicable strategy of the MCS(Modulation and Coding Scheme) for improving DCF throughput in the IEEE 802.11ad and 802.11ad wireless LAN. IEEE 802.11ac and 802.11ad wireless LAN provide MCS technique that dynamically adjusts modulation level and code rate to the time-varying channel conditions in order to obtain considerably high data rates. But these standards did not provide rate adaptation algorithm, so this paper surveyes rate adaptation algorithm and suggests MCS scheme applied to IEEE 802.11ac and 802.11ad wireless LAN. Specially A MAC(Medium Access Control) layer throughput is evaluated over error-prone channel in the IEEE 802.11ac-based wireless LAN. In this evaluation, DCF (Distributed Coordination Function) protocol and A-MPDU (MAC Protocol Data Unit Aggregation) scheme are used. Using theoretical analysis method, the MAC saturation throughput is evaluated with the PER (Packet Error Rate) on the condition that the number of station, transmission probability, the number of parallel beams and the number of frames in each A-MPDU are variables.

본 연구에서는 초고속 WLAN(Wireless LAN)인 IEEE 802.11ac 및 802.11ad 에서 처리율 향상을 위한 전송율 제어기법과 이에 따른 MCS(Modulation and Coding Scheme)의 적용방안을 제시한다. IEEE 802.11ac 및 802.11ad 표준은 기존의 IEEE 802.11b/g/a 무선 LAN표준과는 달리 송신측이 시간적으로 변하는 채널조건에 따라 전송율을 제어하여 처리율을 높일 수 있도록 하기 위해 많은 MCS 기능을 지원한다. 그러나 이들 표준에서는 전송율을 제어할 수 있는 알고리듬을 제시하고 있지 않으므로 본 연구에서는 전송율 제어 알고리듬에 대하여 살펴보고 MCS의 적용 방안을 제시한다. 특히 IEEE 802.11ac 무선 LAN의 DCF 처리율 성능을 에러를 갖는 채널 환경하에서 분석하기 위해 A-MPDU 기법이 활용되었고 패킷 에러율, 단말장치의 수, 프레임의 수, 프레임 페이로드 크기 및 전송 확률이 변수로 사용되었다.
