A stochastic model is presented for TDD-based WMNs. Considering the parameters that affect the network performance like ratio of control slots number to data slots number, collision probability, node density and average hopcounts, the availa- ble capacity for each node is inferred.

With the stochastic model and inferred available capacity per node, the performance of TDD-based WMNs using IEEE 802.16 standard is analyzed under various conditions. Simulation results indicate that the available capacity of IEEE 802.16-based TDD-based WMNs and the theoretical result have the same increasing and decreasing trend as the node density increases.
