Abstract
Wireless networks have been widely and intensively used on a global scale. In accordance with such a use, the limitation of the total throughput of an access point (AP) for the network has become a problem. This problem is especially serious when the AP is accessed by a lot of wireless terminals because the total throughput of the AP becomes much smaller than expected due to the collision of accesses by the terminals. Although a lot of researches have been conducted to solve this problem, their results are far from satisfactory since the total throughputs achieved by the researches are rather limited. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to propose a novel approach to achieve high total throughput regardless of the number of terminals accessing an AP. This paper clarifies the main principles of the proposed approach with its detailed algorithm for the access control. Furthermore, this paper demonstrates that the throughput achieved by the proposed approach is much higher than that of the current IEEE standards and that the throughput by the proposed approach is close to its theoretical upper limit through some computer simulation results.
