This paper develops a simple analytical model based on a Markov chain that calculates saturation throughput and average packet delay for the IEEE802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) for network scenarios with voice and data stations. The analytical model is validated by comparing its results with simulation outcome. Based on the analytical model, a methodology that calculates voice capacity...
Multiuser dynamic OFDMA based IEEE 802.11 distributed coordination function (DCF) has received significant interest from the researchers in recent time. Though several proposals have been made, to the best of our knowledge, none of these have presented an analytical model for this kind of medium access control protocols for IEEE 802.11. This paper provides a simple, nevertheless, very accurate analytical...
We present an analytical model to evaluate the performance of the IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) with and without the RTS/CTS handshake in radio-over-fiber (RoF) wireless LANs. The model captures the effects of contending nodes as well as hidden terminals under non-saturated traffic conditions assuming large buffer sizes. The effect of fiber propagation delay is considered. The...
We propose a queueing model of the 802.11 distributed coordination function in a non-saturated traffic environment, and obtain the characteristic equation of the network throughput in the Part I of this paper series. In the part II, we explore the stable throughput region and the bounded delay region of the retransmission factor based on this model. We find that both regions are highly dependent on...
End-to-end delay is critical for the real-time safety message delivery in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs). In this paper, we present an analytical model to evaluate the impact of transmission range on the end-to-end delay in 802.11p-based VANETs. Compared with the previous works, our model derives a concise expression of the transmission delay in saturated networks, and obtains the service rate...
This paper analyzes the delay performance of Enhanced relay-enabled Distributed Coordination Function (ErDCF) for wireless ad hoc networks under ideal condition and in the presence of transmission errors. Relays are nodes capable of supporting high data rates for other low data rate nodes. In ideal channel ErDCF achieves higher throughput and reduced energy consumption compared to IEEE 802.11 Distributed...
The IEEE 802.11 standard offers a cheap and promising solution for small scale wireless networks. Due to the self configuring nature, WLANs do not require large scale infrastructure deployment, and are scalable and easily maintainable which incited its popularity in both literature and industry. In real environment, these networks operate mostly under unsaturated condition. We investigate performance...
This paper introduces an accurate analysis using three dimensional Markov chain modeling to compute the IEEE 802.11 DCF performance under heavy traffic conditions and absence of hidden terminals. The proposed model matches the real implementation of the DCF as presented in the standard through considering the impact of retry limits of control and data frames jointly on the performance of DCF mechanism...
Cross-layer optimization has been recently proposed for improving the performance of real-time video transmission over 802.11 WLAN. In this paper, an improved IEEE 802.11 WLAN analytical model under unsaturated traffic conditions was proposed. It adapts Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) models to handle all the states. Two special states were added for this model, one is the idle state, which...
This paper presents a novel mathematical model for evaluating the performance of infrastructure wireless local area networks (WLANs) carrying voice and data traffic flows. We evaluate the performance of the access point (AP) flows and of the stations that employ IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) as contention mechanism to access the channel. Metrics as throughput, average delay,...
In wireless LANs (WLANs), the medium access control (MAC) protocol is the main element that determines the efficiency of the wireless channel. In this paper, we focus on analyzing IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol in different network scenarios systematically. In order to analyze the performance of IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol, a performance model of IEEE 802.11 protocol was built using parallel object-oriented...
We present a new analytical model of MAC layer for wireless ad hoc networks that takes into account frame retry limits for four-way handshaking mechanism. This model offers flexibility to address key design issues such as the effects of traffic parameters and possible improvements for wireless ad hoc networks. It effectively captures the important network performance characteristics such as throughput,...
The multi-access scheme of 802.11 wireless networks imposes difficulties in achieving predictable service quality in multi-hop networks. In such networks, the residual capacity of wireless links should be estimated for resource allocation services such as flow admission control. In this paper, we propose an accurate and non-intrusive method to estimate the residual bandwidth of an 802.11 link. Inputs...
For the battery-powered wireless stations, power saving is one of the significant issues in IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN). Recently, Lei and Nilsson investigated power save mode in IEEE 802.11 infrastructure network by an M/G/1 with bulk service where they obtained mean packet delay and bound of the average Percentage of time a station stays in the doze state (PTD). In this paper,...
In this paper, we provide a saturation throughput analysis of the IEEE 802.11 protocol at the data link layer by including the impact of both transmission channel and capture effects in Rayleigh fading environment. Impacts of both non-ideal channel and capture effects, specially in an environment of high interference, become important in terms of the actual observed throughput. As far as the 4-way...
