Abstract
With traffic increase in a wireless network beyond its capacity, the quality of service (QoS) degrades. In this chapter, we review the impact of mobility on throughput, in the case of infrastructure networks using IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi standard. The study was made by simulating different scenarios using Network Simulator-3 (NS-3). First, we compare the throughput between static and mobile nodes, both connected to a QoS station. We found that the throughput may vary depending on the simulation scenario. Second, we propose a modification to EDCA parameters by adding a new access category reserved for mobile nodes regardless of their original access category. The tests show that with the proposed solution the mobile nodes can have a better throughput.
