Despite the widespread deployment of IEEE 802.1 1 Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) protocol, not much analysis has been done on modeling its performance. In this paper, we modify a previously introduced station model along with a channel model to deduce the channel throughput under finite load traffic. Our approach allows modeling of all system parameters like the channel state and the average service time of a frame. Although our model assumes a Poisson arrival process, the proposed approach could be easily extended to more general processes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
