چکیده
In this paper, we study the performance of IEEE 802.11 broadcast scheme in multihop wireless networks using an analytical model. Previous works have evaluated the performance of IEEE 802.11 protocol assuming unicast communication, but there has not been an analysis considering broadcast communication. Analyzing performance of broadcast communication is important because multicast communication is gaining attention in wireless networks with numerous potential applications. Broadcast in IEEE 802.11 does not use virtual carrier sensing and thus only relies on physical carrier sensing to reduce collision. For this study, we define a successful broadcast transmission to be the case when all of the sender’s neighbors receive the broadcast frame correctly, and calculate the achievable throughput.

متن کاملDoes the IEEE 802.11 MAC Protocol Work Well in Multihop Wireless Ad Hoc Networks?
The IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol is the standard for wireless LANs; it is widely used in testbeds and simulations for wireless multihop ad hoc networks. However, this protocol was not designed for multihop networks. Although it can support some ad hoc network architecture, it is not intended to support the wireless mobile ad hoc network, in which multihop connectivity is one of the most prominent f...

While routing in multi-hop packet radio networks (static Ad-hoc wireless networks), it is crucial to minimize power consumption since nodes are powered by batteries of limited capacity and it is expensive to recharge the device. This paper studies the problem of broadcast routing in radio networks. Given a network with an identified source node, any broadcast routing is considered as a directed...
متن کاملAchieving Fairness over 802.11 Multihop Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol for medium access control in wireless Local Area Networks (LANs) is the de facto standard for wireless ad hoc networks. However, it does not perform well in terms of fairness, delay and throughput specially, in multihop networks. The problem is due to both the MAC and link layer contentions. Many research papers have been published in these fields. Among them, a modific...
