Abstract

Wireless local area network (WLAN) technology has become mature in the past few decades. However, with the development of social application forms, the situation of high-density deployment of cells has become more frequent in recent years, so the next-generation WLANs face the unprecedented challenge of quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE) of high-density cell users. In response to this challenge, The Overlapping Basic Service Set Power Detection (OBSS PD) mechanism and Spatial Reuse Parameter (SRP) mechanism are proposed in IEEE 802.11ax (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) to improve spatial multiplexing capability and certain throughput capabilities. But both of them possess inherent drawbacks. Based on this, this paper proposes an enhanced spatial reuse mechanism, named ESR (Enhanced Spatial Reuse), by limiting the value of the CCA threshold in the SRP mechanism to improve the quality of concurrent links, which further improves the average throughput. Compared to traditional SRP, simulation results show that ESR can increase throughput by 10% and reduce packet loss by 10%.
