Abstract
A novel Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) currently developed in the WIND-FLEX project(Wireless Indoor Flexible High Bitrate Modem Architecture, European IST Programme, IST-1999-10025, EU Fifth Framework Program, see [4]) and suitable for small-office/homeoffice environments is described and analysed. The access scheme is TDMA at data rates ranging from 64 Kbps to 100 Mbps over a 50 MHz channel at 17 GHz. Data rate adaptivity requires a feedback channel and ad-hoc procedures. In particular, the MAC (Medium Access Control) drives the physical layer on the basis of link measurements exchanged via a suitable interface. System performance is evaluated via computer simulations by considering different traffic sources and the efficiency of the proposed MAC can be appreciated in terms of the final throughputI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
