Finding the Sweet Spot for Frame Aggregation in 802.11 WLANs

TLDR
In this article, the authors propose an algorithm for the dynamic tuning of the maximum size of aggregated frames in 802.11 WLANs, with the objective of keeping the latency as close as possible to that budget, while penalizing the throughput of traditional services as little as possible.
Abstract
This letter proposes an algorithm for the dynamic tuning of the maximum size of aggregated frames in 802.11 WLANs. Traffic flows with opposed requirements may coexist in these networks: traditional services as web browsing or file download that need high throughput, and services with real-time requirements that need low latency. The proposed algorithm allows the network manager to find an optimal balance ( i.e. the “sweet spot” between throughput and latency: a “delay budget” can be assigned to real-time flows, with the objective of keeping the latency as close as possible to that budget, while penalizing the throughput of traditional services as little as possible.

Dynamic Task Offloading and Scheduling for Low-Latency IoT Services in Multi-Access Edge Computing

TL;DR: A novel thoughtful decomposition based on the technique of the Logic-Based Benders Decomposition is designed, which solves a relaxed master, with fewer constraints, and a subproblem, whose resolution allows the generation of cuts which will, iteratively, guide the master to tighten its search space.

Performance analysis of A-MPDU and A-MSDU aggregation in IEEE 802.11n

TL;DR: A novel analytic model for estimating the performance of a 802.11n high throughput wireless link between a station and an Access Point (AP) is presented and it is shown that A-MPDU aggregation outperforms A-MSDU aggregation, whose performance considerably degrades for high packet error rates and high PHY rates.
