Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the throughput and Delay performance of IEEE 802. 11b Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) with one access point. The IEEE 802. 11b is a wireless protocol standard. In this paper, a wireless network was established which has one access point. OPNET IT Guru Simulator (Academic edition) was used to simulate the entire network. In this paper we considered the effects of varying the data-rate were observed on the throughput and Delay performance metric. Several simulation graphs were obtained and used to analyze of wireless network with good throughput and minimum access delay.
