Abstract(s)

This work provides the specification of a MAC layer simulator that evaluates the service quality in WiFi, and presents initial results as a stand-alone simulator. The simulator will account for inter-working with WiMAX and HSDPA in the context of the IT-MOTION tool. Higher throughputs are found for the FTP service and for the video service, mainly because the frames transmitted in these services are longer than the ones for the voice application. However, the number of supported users is higher for voice. This simulator will allow for tuning-up several parameters like the ones related to how to use BlockACK, normal ACK, and NO ACK policies.
