Exploring spectrum/resource management in Wi-Fi 6 using ns-3
The 802.11ax standard is also known as Wi-Fi 6 and high-efficiency Wi-Fi. The 802.11ax standard also supports all the advanced PHY and MAC features of 802.11n and ac, such as channel bonding, MIMO, higher MCS values, FA, and backward compatibility with past Wi-Fi standards, such as 802.11a, b, g, n, and ac. Equally, the ns-3 802.11ax implementation incorporated unique advanced features of the 802.11ax standard, such as resource scheduling, by adopting OFDMA technology at the PHY layer and resource scheduling at the MAC layer. In particular, resource scheduling in Wi-Fi networks is very helpful to support delay-sensitive smart applications. In this section, we will discuss how to simulate 802.11ax resource scheduling using the following hands-on activity:
- Setting up an 802.11ax-standard-configurable Wi-Fi LAN with 1 AP and 10 STAs
- Deploying the AP at location
100,100 - Randomly deploying Wi-Fi STAs around the...
