Modeling the 802.11 distributed coordination function in non-saturated conditions
Duffy, Ken and Malone, David and Leith, Douglas J. (2005) Modeling the 802.11 distributed coordination function in non-saturated conditions. IEEE Communications Letters, 9 (8). pp. 715-717. ISSN 1089-7798 AbstractAnalysis of the 802.11 CSMA/CA mechanism has received considerable attention recently. Bianchi [1] presents an
analytic model under a saturated traffic assumption. Bianchi’s
model is accurate, but typical network conditions are nonsaturated. We present an extension of his model to a nonsaturated environment. Its predictions are validated against simulation and are found to accurately capture many interesting features of non-saturated operation. | Additional Information: | Copyright Notice "©2005 IEEE.
