Analyzing the throughput of IEEE 802.11 DCF scheme with hidden nodes
Ting‐Chao Hou, Ling-Fan Tsao, Hsin-Chiao Liu · 2003
In this paper, we analyze the throughput of the IEEE 802.11 DCF scheme using the RTS/CTS access mechanism in multi-hop ad hoc networks. The mathematical analysis is much more involved than that in a single-hop network due to the hidden node problem. A more realistic carrier sense range is considered in this paper. The impact of parameters, such as the number of stations, the packet size, and the carrier sense range, is also considered. Simulation results show good agreement with the analytical results.
