Performance analysis of IEEE 802.11 CSMA/CA medium access control protocol
Tien-Shin Ho, Kwang‐Cheng Chen · 2002
IEEE 802.11 is the new wireless network standard. By use of two-dimensional Markovian analysis, we derive the throughput and average delay of the MAC part of IEEE 802.11 to demonstrate the efficiency of the CA (collision avoidance) mechanism. Furthermore, we also focus on its performance with the existence of hidden terminals.
