Frame dispatching algorithm for parallel wireless links

Abstract

High bit error rate is one of the major factors that affect the performance of wireless local area networks (WLANs). This project intends to solve the problem by using parallel wireless links between a mobile station and multiple access points. Also, A dispatching algorithm is proposed to balance the load on the parallel links. By using this algorithm, we can expect that the data transmission can finish at the earliest possible time. Performance comparison between the use of single link and parallel links is performed. It shows that the use of parallel links can give a more steady performance. Furthermore, the throughput of the proposed algorithm is compared with the other commonly used dispatching algorithm. It shows that the proposed algorithm gets higher throughput in most cases.
