IEEE 802.11 is popularly used in Wireless Communication Network, and it works on single-channel environment. However, multi-channel environment not only lets users distribute in different channels avoiding from throughput reduction due to contentions, but also makes different users communicate with each other in narrow environment at the same time even if they on the different channel. Thus, it can avoid interference in the same channel and make performance enhancement for throughput. Moreover, it decreases waiting time and makes the usage of maximally utilized bandwidth.
In this Paper, we propose Enhancement of multi-channel MAC protocol in 802.11 wireless networks. This method is based on multi-channel MAC Protocol for solving the bottleneck of throughput and the problem of switching channel frequently due to the overhead by sending control messages through ATIM window. The features of our proposed protocol are short waiting time, avoiding from collisions as much as possible, and maintaining its fairness during channel selection. Besides, our simulation results show that the proposed scheme can reduce delay time, enhance the usage of bandwidth and reach higher throughput for Enhance of multi-channel
MAC protocol. |
