Evaluation of channel adaptive access point systemwith Fano decoding

Abstract

The popularity of wireless networks is increasing due to their mobility, flexibility, and scalability. High error rate over wireless channels leads current transmission control protocol congestion algorithms to be maintained. Finding approaches at lower layers to overcome this is very efficient and powerful. However, Fano decoding is an efficient error correction mechanism, especially in wireless networks, due to its capability of being adaptive to the channel. In this paper, Stop-and-wait with hybrid automatic repeat request using Fano decoding is adopted at the link layer. Consequently, we propose novel analytical and numerical studies for the distribution of packets in the system of wireless access point or base station. Moreover, the capacity of a sufficient access point system is evaluated numerically.
