Performance Analysis and Enhancement of IEEE 802.11 DCF Contention Window Backoff Scheme in the Presence of Noise *

چکیده
The paper presents an in-depth analysis on IEEE 802.11 DCF in the presence of noise. Based on the analysis, the Back to back Retransmission (BR) scheme is proposed. The main idea of the new scheme is to adopt different MAC protocol behaviors to the failures caused by collisions and those by channel errors. Based on the mathematical models, system saturation throughputs and maximum achievable throughputs of DCF and BR are analyzed using numerical methods. Then, ns-2 simulations are performed to study the impact of such factors as bit-error-rate, number of contending nodes on the performance of BR and DCF. Both the numerical calculation results and simulation results have shown that the proposed BR scheme outperforms DCF in the presence of noise.

Being a part of IEEE project 802, the 802.11 Medium Access Control(MAC) is used to support asynchronous and time bounded delivery of radio data packets. It is proposed that a Distributed Coordination Function(DCF), which uses Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) and binary slotted exponential backoff, be the basis of the IEEE 802.11 WLAN MAC protocols.

Existing backoff scheme’s optimization of IEEE 802.11 DCF MAC protocol consider only saturated networks or asymptotic conditions. In real situations, traffic is bursty or streamed at low rates so that stations do not operate usually in saturated regime. In this work, we propose and analyze a backoff enhancement for IEEE802.11 DCF that requires information only about the network size and that is...
