  Abstract

This paper analyzes the impact of physical layer on the MAC layer throughput with CSMA/CA-based DCF protocol in IEEE 802.11a/g wireless LAN. Up to now research was done on the performance analysis of MAC throughput in each standard wireless LAN. But this paper is focused onthe performance comparison of MAC throughput between 802.11a and 802.11g with the same maximum transmission rate of 54 Mbps. IEEE 802.11a/g wireless LAN is operated as the ad-hoc mode and the number of stations is assumed to be fixed, and each station always has packets for transmission. In other words, we operate in saturation conditions. Fixed and mobile wireless channel are considered. In the fixed wireless channel that is assumed to be combined Rayleigh/Ricean fading channel, this paper shows the DCF throughput performance with the parameter such as Eb/No, payload size and the number of stations on the condition that ζ and τ are fixed. In the mobile wireless channel that has mobile nodes with Doppler frequency determined by mobile speed and wavelength and is assumed to be flat fading Rayleigh channel, this paper shows the DCF throughput performance with the parameter such as mobile speed, payload size and the number of stations on the condition that ρ and τ are fixed.
