Abstract

We analyze TCP-controlled bulk file transfers in a single station (STA) WLAN\nwith nonzero propagation delay between the file server and the WLAN. Our\napproach is to model the flow of packets as a closed queueing network (BCMP\nnetwork) with 3 service centres, one each for the Access Point (AP) and the\nSTA, and the third for the propagation delay. The service rates of the first\ntwo are obtained by analyzing the WLAN MAC. Simulations show a very close match\nwith the theory.\n
