A Detection‐Switching‐Assisted DCF Mechanism for Simulcast WLAN‐over‐Fiber Based Distributed Antenna Systems

Retransmission Number Aware Channel Access Scheme for IEEE 802.11ax Based WLAN

“…In the Distributed coordination function (DCF) [5,6] introduced in IEEE 802.11 standard, Binary exponential Backoff (BEB) is applied in each STA intending to access the channel. The UORA, which inherits the property of the BEB, requires that the OCW size of the STA be doubled each time the STA suffers from an unsuccessful (or failed) transmission trial.…”
