— Many distributed multiple access (MAC) protocols use an exponential backoff mechanism. In that mechanism, a node picks a random backoff time uniformly in an interval that doubl...
IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control(MAC) is proposed to support asynchronous and time bounded delivery of radio data packets in infrastructure and ad hoc networks. The basis of the I...
Analysis of the drafi IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN) standard is needed to characterize the expected performance of the standard’s ad hoc and infrastructure netw...

—In this paper the performance of unslotted ALOHA and CSMA are analyzed in spatially distributed wireless networks. Users/packets arrive randomly in space and time according to a...
Outage probabilities in wireless networks depend on various factors: the node distribution, the MAC scheme, and the models for path loss, fading and transmission success. In prior ...
