ABSTRACT

IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol has been the standard for Wireless LANs, and also adopted in many network simulation packages for wireless multi-hop ad hoc networks.MAC is defined to proper access to the channel and that is also responsible for throughput and fairness in the network. IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol has been the standard for Wireless LANs, and also adopted in many network simulation packages for wireless multi-hop ad hoc networks. While IEEE 802.3 MAC Protocol had been standardized for Wired LAN. in this paper we worked on assessment and evaluation of wireless MAC aiming at College Campus Area. We simulated using ns2 and concluded a performance model best suited for College Campus Area for networking in terms of throughput and delay. We created performance measurement model of Wireless local area network for large number of mobile nodes that take part, move and communicate one another in a WLAN i.e. in a typical scenario of a College Classroom or College’s conference hall where each person is equipped with a Lap Top or other walkie-talkie instruments and simulate our models taking varying time slot from 30 to 20, 15 & 10 micro sec. for getting optimum key point for such WLANs.
