Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the effect of the frame aggregation level on the PCF (Point Coordination Function) MAC performance in IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs and analytically derive the optimal frame aggregation level for maximizing the PCF MAC performance. For various values of unit data frame size and transmission error probability, we propose the optimal frame aggregation levels. By computer simulations, we show that the derived optimal frame aggregation level significantly enhances the PCF MAC performance in IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs.
