Traffic capacity of multi-cell WLANS
Thomas Bonald, Ali. M. A. Ibrahim, James W. Roberts · 2008
Performance of WLANs has been extensively studied during the past few years. While the focus has mostly been on isolated cells, the coverage of WLANs is in practice most often realised through several cells. Cells using the same frequency channel typically interact through the exclusion region enforced by the RTS/CTS mechanism prior to the transmission of any packet.
