Abstract

Purpose: The objective of this research is to design a traffic model for optimum performance analysis and enhancements of IEEE 802.11b QOS parameters. It investigated the effect of traffic distribution on the quality of service parameter on WLAN, in other to establish enhanced WLAN Performance.  In order to evaluate the mean packet delay and network throughput performance, this research has presented a traffic loading for MAC DCF which supports WLAN’s QOS Parameters.

Methodology: Based on this model, a computer simulation model over a MATLAB Simulink was developed.

Results: In this research, results show that the IEEE 802.11b does not perform well in terms of high throughput, and low mean delay at high traffic load conditions. Furthermore, it was also shown that the mean packet delay of arrived packets decreases as the number of workstations decreases, but at saturation, it was shown that throughput decreases, mean packet delay increases. Therefore, to achieve a better enhanced network performance, it was observed that IEEE 802.11b WLAN QOS parameters can be improved to a maximum throughput.
