Abstract
A wireless local area network (WLAN) links two or
more devices using some wireless distribution method (typically
spread-spectrum), and usually providing a connection through an access point to
the wider internet. Therefore, it is very important to improve their signal to
noise performance. In this paper, our main aim is to enhance the WLAN metrics
using buffer size optimization. We demonstrate that WLAN performance can be
improved by tuning parameters such as buffer size, fragmentation threshold and
request to send (RTS) thresholds Through OPNET simulation. In this paper we
emphasize on buffer size parameter. Customizing this parameter opposes to using
the values specified in the standards will reduce delays, throughput and reduce
load on nodes. Finally the results are compiled to improve the performance of
wireless local area networks.
