Abstract

The goal of this paper is to present exact formulae forthe throughput of IEEE 802.11 networks in the absence oftransmission errors and for various physical layers, datarates and packet sizes. Calculation of the throughput ismore than a simple exercise. It is a mandatory part of provisioningany system based on 802.11 technology (whether inad-hoc or infrastructure mode). We will discuss the practicalimportance of theoretical maximum throughput andpresent several applications.
