On the Performance of a Medium Access Control Scheme for the Reconfigurable Wireless Networks
Zygmunt J. Haas · Kluwer Academic Publishers eBooks · 2005
In this paper, we propose a MAC protocol for an ad-hoc network architecture, termed by us the Reconfigurable Wireless Networks, and investigate its performance. We discuss the access synchronization and the construction of network connections features of the MAC protocol. Using event-driven simulation, we evaluate the throughput and the blocking probability of the scheme, demonstrating its behavior for different parameters of the mobility, traffic, and propagation models.
