A Dynamic Time Slot Algorithm Based on Throughput Optimization in IEEE 802.11 Wireless Networks

In IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN, as the number of nodes increases, collisions will increase correspondingly, channel utilization will decline, and the total throughput will decline instead of increasing, leading to system performance degradation. Through in-depth analysis of the root cause of this problem, this paper designs a simple and effective algorithm, which uses ARMA filtering algorithm to measure the conditional collision probability and then calculate the number of nodes in the network. The AP tells all nodes in the network in the form of broadcast when the number of nodes in the network changes, after all nodes receive the broadcast sent by the AP, they dynamically adjust the network parameters accordingly. Finally, NS2 simulation software is used to conduct simulation experiments in a variety of network scenarios, and the experimental results verify that the algorithm in this paper is simple and effective, with less changes to IEEE 802.11, and is suitable for use and promotion in wireless networks. It can optimize the network system performance based on the number of nodes, improve the system throughput, and significantly improve the network performance. According to the number and density of nodes, the algorithm reduces the collision probability by dynamically adjusting the timeslot, accordingly increases the total network throughput, and achieves the purpose of effectively improving the network performance.
