Abstract
fireless LAN can offer high data rate communication between wireless terminals. In IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN, a basic service unit is called a Basic Service Set (BSS), which consists of one AP and more than one wireless terminals. Terminals far from the AP may not communicate with high data rate because signal strength is weakened as they move away from the AP. In this paper we propose a method to permit high speed data transmission by grouping terminals and by using part of wireless terminals as repeaters. We analyze the proposed and algorithm via simulations. Our proposed grouping mechanism is shown to be an effective way to increase the distance for high rate transmission.
