Performance Analysis of Rate Adaptation Algorithms based on Mobility models and Propagation Loss in Wireless LANs

Computer networks establish our day-to-day communications in this contemporary world. Wireless LANs (WLANs) have been beneficial for network connections within a small area referred to as a local area network. WLANs are elicited from the IEEE 802.11ac standard which is used in this paper. Because WLANs are widely used for networking purposes in order to augment the performance of wireless LANs rate adaptation algorithms are applied to the system. This paper primarily focuses on the performance of a few rate adaptation algorithms by changing different parameters’ average throughput and average delay so that their usage can be improvised in our daily lives.
