Experimental assessment of 802.11 MAC layer channel estimators
Giustiniano, Domenico and Malone, David and Leith, Douglas J. and Papagiannaki, Konstantina (2007) Experimental assessment of 802.11 MAC layer channel estimators. IEEE Communications Letters, 11 (12). pp. 961-963. ISSN 1089-7798 AbstractWe evaluate two approaches for estimating the
proportions of frame losses at an 802.11 station due to collisions and interference. These methods use only local 802.11 measurements available in basic access mode. We implement the estimators on an experimental testbed using off-the-shelf hardware to investigate implementation requirements and to evaluate performance in real wireless environments. We find that the estimators are accurate and of potential practical utility. | Additional Information: | Copyright Notice "©2007 IEEE. Reprinted from IEEE Communications Letters.
