PhD Qualifying Examination


Title: "A Survey on Performance Evaluation for IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area
Network"

Mr. Ka-Lok Hung


Abstract:

The IEEE 802.11 standard is the most widely used technology for wireless
local area network (WLAN) in the few years. Various performance evaluation
models are proposed to study the performance of the 802.11 WLAN.
Different performance metrics like network throughput and queuing delay
are studied analytically. In this survey, we first give an overview on the
802.11 standard. Then, we classify these models according to their
modeling approaches and target performance metrics. Some of the design and
modeling assumption issues are discussed. Finally, several future research
directions in this area are suggested.
