摘要：Medium Access Control (MAC) Layer plays an important role in Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). However, as it has to deal with many packets received by the users, it faces lot of challenges in terms of packet collisions and reception. MultiPacket Reception (MPR) technology will address the above problems and provides the capability for a wireless receiver to parallely decode multiple packets from concurrent transmissions. New research advances are leading to increase in the reception capability of a single centrally receiving node called as Access Point (AP) in WLAN. In this paper, a detailed discussion about the usage of MPR technology in wireless networks is carried out in the form of survey. The benefits of MPR technology in terms of throughput gain and reduction in packet collision and its various technologies that enable MPR at the physical layer of a wireless network stack are highlighted.
