Abstract
AbstractThe rapid progress in wireless communication technology and proliferation of multimedia applications, including voice over WiFi (VoWiFi), demand exploration of innovative approaches to enhance the network performance and quality of service. We propose a technique for enhancing the cell capacity of wireless local area network (WLAN) access point that provides VoWiFi service in the sixth‐generation WLAN standard. The proposed technique uses the aggregate media access control protocol data unit (A‐MPDU) for frame aggregation with constant bit rate (CBR) traffic in the WiFi 6 standard (i.e., IEEE 802.11ax). On the other hand, the retransmission of voice packets substantially deteriorates the VoWiFi cell capacity. We compare the results obtained from the use of WiFi 6 with currently existing WLAN standards, such as IEEE 802.11b/g/n/ac. This comparison focuses on distributed coordination function interframe spacing (DIFS) and arbitration interframe spacing (AIFS) using CBR traffic. Using our technique, we can increase the VoWiFi cell capacity for CBR traffic by 24.25% and 25.20% when using DIFS and AIFS, respectively, while considering the A‐MPDU frame aggregation technique.
