The power management algorithm in the IEEE 802.11 standard for Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS) mode is an important field of research for power constrained wireless devices. This paper presents an overall analysis of a data frame transmission together with the corresponding ATIM frame transmission using a Markov chain model. The impact of network size on the throughput of the IEEE 802.11 DCF in Power Save Mode (PSM) is analysed and the theoretical results are validated using simulation.
