Context. High level of industrial noise increases the loss of information frames during transmission, which in turn decreases the network throughput. We propose a mathematical model of IEEE 802.11 networks operation under conditions of increased interference intensity. Objective. The purpose of this paper is to express in an explicit analytical form the effect of bit error rate (BER) on the probability of frame transmission and the network throughput. Method. We have proposed the method for constructing a model that allows you to directly calculate the dependence of the frame transmission probability on the number of stations operating in saturation mode, which is convenient for engineering calculations. The values of the model coefficients were selected by comparing the calculation results with the results obtained using the known Bianchi model, which describes the network operation in the form of a Markov process. In the range of up to 23 stations working with one access point, which corresponds to a collision probability of up to 0.5, the indicated dependences for both models satisfy each other with an accuracy sufficient for the practical application. An expression for the network throughput has been defined. Results. The results of the model development were used to take into account the effect of interference intensity on the information transfer process. This made it possible to explicitly express the effect of BER on the probability of frame transmission and the network throughput in the case of variations in the length of the frames and with a different number of competing stations. The degree of throughput reduction has been determined for BER = 10–5, 5∙10–5, 10–4 and increasing value of minimum contention window. Conclusions. In this work, a mathematical model has been developed for direct calculation of the probability of frame transmission and network throughput at different levels of BER.

A theoretical analysis of the interaction of the eddy current sensor field with powder particles makes it possible to calculate the particle conductivity using the measured value of the sensor added active resistance. Relative to its own reactance, the value of this resistance is proportional to powder density, frequency of the probing field, electrical conductivity of particles and square of their diameter. Particles of spherical shape and cylindrical shape, the height of which is equal to the diameter of the base, are considered. The analysis allows to explain the experimentally observed different character of the resistance frequency dependences for powder and corresponding solid material when measuring by the same sensor.

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to explore and develop specific models of the kinetics of isothermal depolarization currents (IDC) and the corresponding methods for the diagnostics of the physical parameters of localized electronic states (LES) in heterogeneous materials and corresponding polycrystalline semiconductor materials and heterogeneous insulators with a conductive phase. Design/methodology/approach -Analysis of the kinetics of isothermal depolarization on the basis of the models allowed the authors to establish a sufficient level of their information content. This also allowed the possibility of applying for research and testing of heterogeneous structures of electronic technique. Findings -Optimal conditions (full charge of LES on one side of the object and full discharge on the other side) and the correction factors, allowed the researchers to find concentration of these states using the developed models. Originality/value -This paper uses a particular method to determine and test the parameters of LES, including operations of determining the time constant of IDC signal from its frequency spectrum, finding the ionization energy and the capture coefficient of electrons from the temperature dependence of this time constant, determining the concentration based on the integration of the time dependence of current density of nX in the time interval that boundaries are determined from the limited range of frequencies of the signal IDC spectrum has been proposed, validated and verified by numerical experiments.

For a given level of noise, fragmentation of the frame’s data field increases the probability of transmitting each individual fragment. But this is accompanied by an increase in the rela-tive weight of overhead costs, i.e. the amount of service information that is necessary to sup-port the frame transfer process. We propose to determine the fragmentation optimum under condition of increased noise intensity by the maximum value of the product of fragmented frame successful transmission probability by the relative weight of overhead costs. The arti-cle presents detailed results of calculations of the optimality criterion dependence on the fragmentation coefficient at different levels of noise, which allow optimizing the process of fragmentation of the transmitted frames.
