  • Abstract
    In this paper we study the impact of using multi- antenna techniques, such as MIMO and diversity, on the performance of the IEEE802.11b network in a quasi-static Rayleigh fading channel. As a performance measure we consider the saturated throughput. Considering the saturated throughput as a random variable, its CDF for each transmission method is evaluated. Based on the obtained results, the effect of the environment parameters on the system throughput is also discussed.
