We consider a wireless communication model where a large number of transmitter-receiver pairs share a common Rayleigh fading channel without any coordination between them. The performance of a simple coexistence etiquette is analyzed in details, where packets are allowed to be transmitted from a given terminal only if the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) at their intended receiver exceeds...
Cooperative relaying methods can improve wireless links, but introduce overhead due to relay selection and resource reservation compared to non-cooperative transmission. In order to be competitive, a cooperative relaying protocol must avoid or compensate for this overhead. In this paper, we present a MAC protocol for relay selection and cooperative communication as an extension to CSMA/CA which addresses...
The physical layer of future wireless networks will be based on novel radio technologies such as UWB and MIMO. One of the important capabilities of such technologies is the ability to capture a few packets simultaneously. This capability has the potential to improve the performance of the MAC layer. However, we show that in networks with spatially distributed nodes, reusing backoff mechanisms originally...
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...
