Joint Effects of Node Density, Propagation, Wi-Fi Generation, and Transport Protocol on WLAN Performance: An ns-3 Study
Wireless local area network (WLAN) performance is jointly shaped by medium contention, propagation, Wi-Fi configuration, and transport-layer behavior. This study evaluates IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11ax in a single-access-point uplink topology, comparing UDP and TCP under Friis, LogDistance, and cascaded Friis-Nakagami...
