Novel throughput evaluation method of Radio LAN systems based on occupied duration for Individual UDP transmission

Abstract

The instantaneous throughput is evaluated based on the communication traffic volume per fixed unit time. Although the conventional method can roughly evaluate it within unit time, it is difficult to evaluate the communication situation of each packet in detail. Therefore, the authors propose a method of deriving the throughput based on the occupied duration for one packet transmission. In the proposed method, not only throughput per packet but also throughput of other signals such as beacon signals and variation of Back-off Time can be evaluated. In this paper, we define the occupation duration for deriving throughput during individual UDP transmission, and show analysis examples compared with the conventional method.
