Abstract

Due to huge popularity of portable terminals based on Wireless LANs and increasing demand for multimedia services from these terminals, the earlier structures and protocols are insufficient to cover the requirements of emerging networks and communications. Most research in this field is tailored to find more efficient ways to optimize the quality of wireless LAN regarding the requirements of multimedia services. Our work is to investigate the effects of modulation modes at the physical layer, retry limits at the MAC layer and packet sizes at the application layer over the quality of media packet transmission. Interrelation among these parameters to extract a cross-layer idea will be discussed as well. We will show how these parameters from different layers jointly contribute to the performance of service delivery by the network. The results obtained could form a basis to suggest independent optimization in each layer (an adaptive approach) or optimization of a set of parameters from different layers (a cross-layer approach). Our simulation model is implemented in the NS-2 simulator. Throughput and delay (latency) of packet transmission are the quantities of our assessments.
