| Abstract | IEEE 802.11n is a newly emerging wireless standard which, relative to former 802.11 protocols, such as 802.11a /b/g, has a number of new mechanisms that enable multifold increas es in transmission speeds. These new mechanisms include multi p einput-multiple-output (MIMO) transmission schemes as wel as the option for channel bonding two 20MHz channels into a single 40MHz channel. Furthermore, 802.11n has the option o f operating in the 5GHz range, which offers a larger number of subchannels to operate on in comparison to operating in the 2.4GHz range, as is the case for 802.11b/g. Although signific ant work has been done on link adaptation in 802.11n, methods of managing the channel features available in 802.11n have yet to be performed. In this work, we motivate the need for further research in channel management schemes for 802.11n by evaluating the performance gains of implementing a baseline scheme versus traditional single-input-single-outp ut (SISO) schemes. We also gain an undersanding of the restrictions as well as the opportunities of 802.11n environments, as well a s an understanding of the metrics that are relevant in such environments. |
