Abstract
We consider the provision of Access Point buffers
in WLANs. We first demonstrate that the default use of static
buffers in WLANs leads to either undesirable channel underutilisation
or unnecessary high delays, which motivates the use
of dynamic buffer sizing. Although adaptive algorithms have
been proposed for wired Internet, a number of fundamental
new issues arise in WLANs which necessitates new algorithms
to be designed. These new issues include the fact that channel
bandwidth is time-varying, the mean service rate is dependent
on the level of channel contention, and packet inter-service times
vary stochastically due to the random nature of CSMA/CA
operation. We propose an adaptive sizing algorithms which is
demonstrated to be able to maintain high throughput efficiency
whilst achieving low delay.
