%X IEEE 802.11n mainly aims to provide high throughput, reliability and good security over its other previous standards. The performance of 802.11n is very effective on the saturated traffic through the use of frame aggregation. But this frame aggregation will not effectively function in all scenarios. The main objective of this paper is to improve the throughput of the wireless LAN through effective frame aggregation using scheduler mechanism. The Bi-Scheduler algorithm proposed in this article aims to segregate frames based on their access categories. The outer scheduler separates delay sensitive applications from the incoming burst of multi-part data and also decides whether to apply Aggregated - MAC Service Data Unit (A-MSDU) aggregation technique or to send the data without any aggregation. The inner scheduler schedules the remaining (delay-insensitive, background and best-effort) packets using Aggregated-MAC Protocol Data unit (A-MPDU) aggregation technique
