Performance analysis of A-MPDU and A-MSDU aggregation in IEEE 802.11n

With recent improvements in physical layer (PHY) techniques, the achievable capacity for wireless LANs (WLANs) has grown significantly. However, the overhead of IEEE 802.11 MAC layer has limited the actual throughput of a WLAN. A-MPDU aggregation suggested in IEEE 802.11n draft is a key enhancement reducing the protocol timing overheads that enables aggregation of several MAC-level protocol data units (MPDUs) into a single PHY protocol data unit...
