Haihua Han, Zhenbao Pei, Weihong Zhu, Na Li · 2012
In this paper, we provides a simple and accurate analysis by Markov chain modeling to evaluate the IEEE 802.11 DCF performance in the presence of capture effect. We extend the Bianchi's multidimensional Markov chain analytical model of IEE 802.11 DCF to characterize the behavior of DCF considering capture effect and packet retransmission limits. We compare the NS-2 simulation results with the derived analysis. Numerical results and simulations are provided to validate the accuracy of our model.
