IEEE 802.11 n/ac wireless local area network (WLAN) supports frame aggregation, called
aggregate medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (A-MPDU), to enhance MAC …

IEEE 802.11 n WLAN supports frame aggregation called aggregate MAC protocol data unit
(A-MPDU) as a key MAC technology to achieve high throughput. While it has been generally …

Abstract Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is gaining a lot of traction in wireless systems
with several practical implementations and numerous proposals being made. Despite …

With the proliferation of smartphones and tablets, mobile devices are soon becoming a
preferred medium of Internet access in Wireless LANs (WLANs). Due to their smaller form …

In order to reduce the overhead of legacy WLANs, the IEEE 802.11 n standard defines two
aggregation schemes, ie, A-MSDU and A-MPDU. In general, A-MPDU outperforms A-MSDU …

In a wireless local area network (LAN), packets can be lost due to a multitude of reasons. It is
possible to reduce the probability of occurrence of some of these loss mechanisms by …

This paper deals with the problem of performance degradation in wireless local area
networks (WLANs) based on IEEE 802.11 n. When a wireless channel is shared by …

Channel bonding is a technology that increases the transmission rates by bundling and
using multiple continuous channels. However, its communication performance decreases …

Software-Defined Networking promises to deliver a more manageable network whose
behaviour could be easily changed using applications written in high-level declarative …

Two main types of approaches exist for implementing cooperative communications at the
MAC layer: virtual-hop relay and cooperative retransmission. While the virtual-hop relay …
