Qi, J., Aissa, S. and Zhao, X. (2007) Optimal frame length for keeping normalized goodput with lowest requirement on BER. In: 2007 Innovations in Information Technologies (IIT). IEEE, pp. 715-719. doi: 10.1109/IIT.2007.4430479

Abstract/Summary

This paper presents an adaptive frame length mechanism based on a cross-layer analysis of intrinsic relations between the MAC frame length, bit error rate (BER) of the wireless link and normalized goodput. The proposed mechanism selects the optimal frame length that keeps the service normalized goodput at required levels while satisfying the lowest requirement on the BER, thus increasing the transmission reliability. Numerical results are provided and show that an optimal frame length satisfying the lowest BER requirement does indeed exist. The performance of BER requirement as a function of the MAC frame length is evaluated and compared for transmission scenarios with and without automatic repeat request (ARQ). Furthermore, issues related to the MAC overhead length are also discussed to illuminate the functionality and performance of the proposed mechanism.
