  10. Simulation Results Javier del Prado et al. Philips

  11. BriarLAN 10.0 Simulator • Based on OPNET 10.0 PL2 (October 2003) • Model Library: 10-24-2003 • Functionality • Full 802.11 Legacy MAC (DCF + PCF) • Most of 802.11e Implementation (Draft 5.0) • New Frame Format • EDCA • EDCA TXOP Bursting • Polled TXOP Request • Polled TXOP Bursting • No ACK Policy • DLP Javier del Prado et al. Philips

  12. Throughput vs. Frame Size • Simulation Scenario: • There are two senders and two receivers • The senders generate at an infinite rate, L-byte long data frames • The frames are not fragmented • The channel is error free • The beacon interval is 100 ms • The underlying PHY layer is 802.11a • The Data transmission rate is 54 Mb/s • The ACK transmission rate is 24 Mb/s • In EDCA simulations AC_VO parameters are used • For HCCA • The Simple Scheduler defined in 802.11e D5.0 is used • CFP is 90 ms • During CP, wireless STAs use AC_VO • Five frames can be transmitted within a TXOP. Javier del Prado et al. Philips

  13. Throughput vs. Frame Size Javier del Prado et al. Philips

  14. Throughput vs. Number of STAs • 6 different homogeneous scenarios • All stations in each scenario run the same MAC protocol, with same access parameters • Load • Each STA generates 4 Mb/s of traffic • Packet size of 1500 bytes • EDCA • AC default parameters • HCCA • Simple scheduler with TXOPs of 5 ms Javier del Prado et al. Philips

  15. Throughput vs. Number of STAs Javier del Prado et al. Philips

  16. Simulation Results for Usage Scenario 1 Reference: 11-03-802 Javier del Prado et al. Philips

  17. Traffic Generation • As defined in 11-03-802-01 • With the Application parameters as shown in the Applications table • Added VoD control channel for STA4 • STA11 is not simulated – Video Gaming Controller • 0.5 Mb/s with 50 bytes packets?  1250 packets/sec? • Delay Limit of 4 ms? Javier del Prado et al. Philips

  18. Application Set-Up Javier del Prado et al. Philips

  19. TCP Parameters Javier del Prado et al. Philips

  20. TCP Parameters Javier del Prado et al. Philips

  21. WLAN Parameters Javier del Prado et al. Philips

  22. EDCA Parameters • Default Parameters defined in 802.11e D5.0 We have not tried to optimize EDCA Javier del Prado et al. Philips

  23. HCCA Parameters • Used the Simple Scheduler in 802.11e D5.0 • Polling Interval of 30 ms • Minimum Delay Limit of all applications in Scenario 1 We have not tried to optimize Scheduling Algorithm Javier del Prado et al. Philips

  24. PHY Layer • 802.11a frame format and IFSs • Error free channel • All STAs transmit data at 216 Mb/s • Control and Management Frames at 24 Mb/s Javier del Prado et al. Philips

  25. Javier del Prado et al. Philips

  26. DCF Simulation Results • Data is only dropped at the AP • The AP has the same priority than other STAs • Same probability to access the medium • But the AP carries about 50 Mb/s Wireless LAN data dropped Javier del Prado et al. Philips

  27. EDCA simulation results Wireless LAN Throughput Wireless LAN Data Dropped Need to calculate PLR from these results + delay curves Javier del Prado et al. Philips

  28. EDCA simulation results SDTV/HDTV End-to-End Delay Javier del Prado et al. Philips

  32. HCCA simulation results Wireless LAN Throughput Wireless LAN Data Dropped Most of data dropped is TCP traffic Javier del Prado et al. Philips

  33. HCCA simulation results HDTV/SDTV End to End Delay CDF of HDTV/SDTV End to End Delay Javier del Prado et al. Philips

  35. HCCA simulation results TCP Throughput Javier del Prado et al. Philips

  36. Conclusions • Evaluation of the IEEE 802.11e MAC Throughput as a function of frame size and number of stations • IEEE 802.11e MAC can achieve high efficiency for large frame sizes • Up to 90% • Between 55 and 80% for a 1500 bytes long frame • HCCA throughput is independent of number of Stations Javier del Prado et al. Philips

  37. Conclusions • Simulation of Usage Scenario I • Both EDCA and HCCA guarantee the required PLR in this simulation scenario • There is some data dropped, but given low delay achieved, we can play with the buffer sizes • For a 216 Mb/s PHY rate, the network is close to its limit • We need to include Channel Errors • Do we need to relax the Usage Scenarios definition? • Specially for applications with small packet sizes and low delay limit Javier del Prado et al. Philips
