On the use Of IEEE 802.11n frame aggregation for efficient transport of scalable video streaming

摘要

This paper presents, through simulation experiments, a performance study of both IEEE 802.11n aggregation methods: A-MPDU (Aggregated MAC Protocol Data Unit) and A-MSDU (Aggregated MAC Service Data Unit), considering scenarios of video streaming. The objectives of this article are: (i) investigate the quality of service achieved, (ii) show which of the two methods of aggregation (A-MPDU or A-MSDU) is the more suitable for the application being considered and; (iii) suggest values for the parameters that result in better quality of service.
