ABSTRACT
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) provides multiple and high throughput rate to the users. IEEE802.11 WLAN standards offer a high range of channel bandwidth for future media applications. The standard offered new capabilities to physical layer (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) layer that enhance throughput, i.e., the WLAN combines the MAC layer resources and allocates to a single user which directly improves the throughput performance. In this paper, we present the comparative throughput performance of the network under different configurations such as a network without MAC Packet Data Unit (MPDU) aggregation, a network with MAC Service Data Unit (MSDU), a network with MPDU and MSDU, and a network with MPDU aggregation. We use performance metrics to measure the performance are throughput and packet delay. In results we found that the aggregation of MPDU and MSDU improves the performance of the network.
