The model takes into account freezing of the backoff timer when a station senses busy channel. It is shown that taking into account this feature of DCF is important in modeling saturation throughput by yielding more accurate and realistic results than models known from literature. The proposed analytical model also takes into account the effect of transmission errors. All essential features of the proposed analytical approach are illustrated with numerical results. The presen-tation of the model is proceeded by an overview of approaches to IEEE 802.11 network performance evaluation presented in the literature.展开更多

Firstly, we modeled the MAC layer of ad hoc network based on 802.11 DCF without the existence of hidden nodes. By means of the proposed model, we evaluated the throughput performance of DCF in multi-hop wireless networks. Secondly, we performed simulations to validate this model. The outcome of comparison is that there exists much difference in throughput between the model and the simulation. For reducing this difference, we modified the model by involving hidden nodes under the condition that the AODV route protocol was chosen, and analytically analyzed the influence of hidden nodes on theoretical throughput. At last, we validated the accuracy of this model by comparing the analytical results with simulation results.展开更多

Many literatures have analyzed the performance of IEEE802.11 DCF. However, such literatures either used simulation methods or built the analytical models under the assumption that the saturation condition was satisfied. To overcome such a problem, in this paper, a hi-dimensional Markovian model has been introduced to depict the DCF mechanism. The proposed model introduced an idle stage and a discrete time M/G/1 queue to deduce the channel throughput under finite load traffic. Simulation results proved the accuracy of the proposed model.展开更多
