A reliable A-MSDU frame aggregation scheme in 802.11n wireless networks

IEEE 802.11n standard is introduced to enhance the throughput to more than 100Mbps at the MAC service access point. This high throughput is achieved through several enhancements at the physical and MAC layers. Frame aggregation is a key enhancement at the MAC later in which multiple frames are conca...

description IEEE 802.11n standard is introduced to enhance the throughput to more than 100Mbps at the MAC service access point.

In error free channels the 802.11n MAC service data unit aggregation (A-MSDU) performs better than the MAC protocol data unit aggregation (A-MPDU)due to its smaller headers.
