Abstract

In this paper, we study the overhead introduced by the advanced encryption standard cipher in the context of wireless LANs, specifically at the medium access control layer, as described in the 802.11 standard developed by the 802.11n task group. We compute the maximum throughput, optimal frame, and fragment sizes which can be achieved in this context and compare them to the optimal values when encryption is not used.
