Performance Analysis of the IEEE 802.11 MAC Protocols over a WLAN with Capture Effect
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we use a discrete Markov chain model to analyze the throughput of CSMA/CA protocols in a wireless local area network (WLAN) considering the capture phenomenon, which means the packet with the strongest power may capture the receiver even in the presence of other overlapping packets. The model of capture effect over the theoretical throughput of CSMA/CA protocols in the presence of path loss, shadowing, and Rayleigh fading are obtained and compared with the model without capture effect.

Performance of Reliable Transport Protocol over IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN: Analysis and Enhancement
IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control(MAC) is proposed to support asynchronous and time bounded delivery of radio data packets in infrastructure and ad hoc networks. The basis of the IEEE 802.11 WLAN MAC protocol is Distributed Coordination Function(DCF), which is a Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance(CSMA/CA) with binary slotted exponential back-off scheme. Since IEEE 802.11 MAC...

Wireless personal area networks (WPAN) and wireless local area networks (WLAN) based on IEEE 802.15.4 and 802.11 standards operate in overlapping unlicensed frequency bands; therefore, they create harmful interference for each other if deployed in the same geographical area. There has been various performance analysis of the MAC protocols for both networks individually. However, the coexistence...

IEEE 802.11 is a Media Access Control (MAC) protocol which has been standardized by IEEE for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN). The IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol offers two types of services to its users: synchronous and asynchronous. This paper thoroughly analyzes, by simulation, the asynchronous part alone, when each station feeds the MAC protocol with data traffic patterns (in the following ref...
