Analytical Study of the Distance Change on IEEE 802.11ah Standard using Markov Chain Model

This research proposed a model of Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) scheme which is one of the techniques used in reducing collision and usually prioritized due to its contention window to determine the impact of distance change on the IEEE 802.11 ah standard. The proposed model was analyzed using the Markov Chain approach to determine the effect of distance change on collisions levels while the numerical were simulated using MATLAB. Moreover, the Markov chain solution was used to evaluate parameters such as throughput, energy consumption, and delay. The results showed the increment in RAW slot duration and the distance change for each station can reduce the performance on the standard and the scenario when the RAW slot duration was changed by 50 ms performed better than 100 ms and 250 ms

Performance Analysis of Mobility Impact on IEEE 802.11ah Standard with Traffic Pattern Scheme

Internet of Things (IOT) offers a new dimension of technology and information where connectivity is available anywhere, anytime, and for any purpose. IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Network group is a standard that developed to answer the needs of wireless communication technology (WI-Fi). Recently, IEEE 802.11 working group released the 802.11ah technology or Wi-Fi HaLow as a Wi-fi standard. This standard works on the 1 GHz frequency band with a broader coverage area, massive device and the energy efficiency issues. This research addresses, the influence of Random Walk, Gauss-Markov, and Random Waypoint mobility model on 802.11ah with different traffic pattern scheme are analyzed. The design of the simulation system is done by changing of node density. Based on the result, it can be concluded that the overall performance of the network with all of the parameter scenarios is decreasing along with increasing the Stations. In the node density scenario, the Random Waypoint mobility model has the best performance with an average delay is about 0.65805 s, throughput is about 0.53811Mbps, PDR is about 96.75%, and energy consumption is about 5.2530 Joule

Analysis and measurement of session setup delay and jitter in VoWLAN using composite metrics

In this paper we look at the signaling for session mobility using the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and the Session Description Protocol (SDP). Bearing in mind that perceived voice quality is sensitive mostly to delay variation (also called jitter), we work on bounding that value for providing a better voice Quality of Service over Wireless LAN (WLAN). For mobility we use a hybrid SIP-MIP stack. The basic idea is to combine the strengths of MIP for doing fast handovers and the strengths of SIP for powerful session adaptation capabilities. Numerical calculation figures as well as real implementation results are provided. It can be observed that the session update cycle during mobility can be modified in such a way that session delay variation bounds achieved are quite low and there are almost no spikes. We use composite performance metrics that we defined in previous work to analyze the correlation between the data patterns for session signaling delay in the classical case and our proposed case to better highlight the achieved performance delta.Godkänd; 2008; 20080925 (elkotob
