Throughput Analysis of Block-Ack in IEEE 802.11n

Abstract—This article provides a saturation throughput analysis of IEEE 802.11n when Block-ACK is adopted. In contrast to the previous models, our model gives more accurate results owing to taking into account the freezing of backoff counter and anomalous slots. Simulation results show the accuracy of our model. Keywords-IEEE 802.11n, CSMA/CA, Block-ACK I
