Abstract

We develop an analytical model of rate adaptive Wireless LAN and downlink traffic flows to randomly located users in the range of an access point. We first calculate the service time distribution of packets being served by the access point. Then, we show that the location of each user determines the throughput that all other users may achieve. Finally we verify our findings with simulations.
