I am an undergraduate student and have a project of writing a new
MAC protocol to extend IP onto an optiacl wireless network. I am unsure
of how to do this and would  appreciate any help

The project involves using mobile stations controlled under a base
station running some kind of IP. I assume that I have to minimise
collisions, error  and delay and maximise throughput.

So far I have tried varying the TCP packet size but am unsure whether
I  am altering the characteristics of the MAC or not.

Any hints out there anyone?
