Abstract :
Estimating the throughput of an WiFi connection can be quite complex, even when considering simplified scenarios. Indeed, the varying number of parameters specified in the standards makes it hard to understand their impact in terms of delay and throughput. The main contribution of this work is to present a simple scheme to compute the exact maximum throughput for an IEEE 802.11g network. The proposed scheme incorporates all the timings and settings which allows one to calculate the throughput for different channel spacing and modulation techniques specified in the standard. Numerical and experimental results showing the accuracy of the proposed scheme are also presented.
