Resumen: 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. © 1997-2012 IEEE.
