Abstract(in English) In IEEE802.11, the transmission rate is specified in multiple steps by the Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS), which is an index of combinations of modulation schemes and coding rates. In order to maximize throughput, it is necessary to select an appropriate transmission rate for the communication environment. However, the actual communication environment is complicated by many factors, such as the effects of fading, contention by other communications, and hidden terminal problem. In our previous study, we investigated a rate adaptation method for complex communication environments by applying machine learning. However, only one-to-one communication experiments were conducted, and the results were not sufficiently compared with those of conventional methods. In this paper, we show the superiority of the proposed method by comparing and verifying the transmission rate selection using LightGBM and the conventional method in the presence of competing communications.
