Abstract: WLAN plays important role in remote patient monitoring, it represents the intermediate component between the WPAN and the backbone of WSN ,In this paper we introduced a proposed switch-case algorithm to improve the performance of the WLAN by decreasing the delay and increasing the throughput for any degradation especially if there is a huge degradation that can be caused by dense patient monitoring, this algorithm has five improved mechanisms include enhanced techniques of 802.11n such as block acknowledgment, Channel bonding, frame aggregation and spatial multiplexing. This algorithm is equipped to both nonjamming and jamming environments

Keywords: WLAN, 802.11n, Dense Monitoring, Acknowledgment, Channel Bonding, Aggregation And Spatial Multiplexing
