Abstract

IEEE 802.11a, Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), is a wireless broadband technology, which is used as substitute of wired Ethernet as well as in public hot sport wireless network because of its higher data rates compared to cellular mobile networks. In order to provide higher data rate and to mitigate the effect of fading caused by wireless channel IEEE 802.11a uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) as a transmission scheme, which based on multicarrier modulation technique. The physical layer (PHY) of 802.11a is simulated with the help of MATLAB to investigate its performance in presence of different Forward Error Correction codes (FEC), over AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise) channel. Bit error rate (BER) performance has been observed with respect to Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). It is found that IEEE WLAN 802.11a perform better in presence of RS code as compared to CC code.
