Abstract(in English) The Wireless Internet-access Mesh NETwork (WIMNET) can provide an inexpensive, flexible, and expandable Internet-access network by connecting multiple access-points (APs) through wireless links. To improve the performance of WIMNET, it is important to adopt high-speed wireless communication protocols IEEE 802.11n/ac that have recently become available, for heavily crowded links between APs. As one of the technologies to enhance the communication speed, the frame aggregation has been introduced so that multiple frames can be sent at the same time to reduce the communication overhead. Because each link between APs usually handles packets to/from multiple hosts in WIMNET, the effect of the frame aggregation can be further enhanced. In this paper, we present a model of the frame aggregation and an extension of the WIMNET simulator based on the model, which has been developed by our group to evaluate the performance of WIMNET. Through simulations in simple topologies, we show the effectiveness of the frame aggregation, and the necessity of the proper number of aggregated frames and the aggregated routing path.
