Abstract

In this paper we propose a frame traffic control algorithm in the media access control (MAC) layer for IEEE802.11 wireless local area networks (WLANs), namely the Adaptive Frame Size Proportion Optimization (AFSPO) algorithm. The algorithm adaptively adjusts the sending frame size of each station in the network based on the real-time proportion of data frames, to weaken the self-similar characteristics of frame traffic in the network, and to improve the network performance by decreasing collisions and relieving congestion. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is effective in increasing the data frame bit delivery ratio when the total throughput in the link remains the same.
