Abstract

We derive an analytic model of packet aggregation on the the downlink of an 802.11ac WLAN when packet arrivals are paced. The model is closed-form and so suitable for both analysis and design of next generation edge architectures that aim to achieve high rate and low delay. The model is validated against both simulations and experimental measurements and found to be remarkably accurate despite its simplicity.
