Summary
Well done. We successfully explored advanced Wi-Fi standards such as 802.11n, ac, and ax and their features using ns-3 simulations. ns-3 helps readers explore and research how to improve the throughput for Wi-Fi STAs and their response times using advanced Wi-Fi PHY and MAC features such as channel bonding, FA, MIMO, and higher MCS values.
In particular, by learning about 802.11ax features such as resource scheduling and BSS coloring simulations, readers can carry out their research activities systematically to set up and evaluate real-time, dense Wi-Fi deployments, such as airports, stadiums, shopping malls, and IoT use cases. Overall, this chapter mainly helped readers approach various advanced Wi-Fi features, such as scheduling, interference management, and channel utilization improvement techniques.
In the next chapter, we will discuss another interesting advanced network simulation topic – 4G/LTE network simulations.
