Abstract

A star-like regional wireless network under the IEEE 802.11 protocol is studied: its end stations are hidden from each other and linked only with the base station—the point of access to outer networks. It provides access to the Internet to users of cable LANs connected to its end stations. Transfer of large files through TCP/IP connections forms the main bulk of the wireless traffic. Methods for estimating the maximal network throughput for transmission of TCP-level information are designed.
