Throughput of a Wireless Lan Access Point in Presence of Natural Hidden Terminals and Capture Effects
نویسنده
چکیده
In a wireless LAN, even if the coverage of the access point (AP) and the mobile terminals are the same, the hidden terminal problem can not be avoided. If the AP and all the mobile terminals have the same coverage with a radius R there will always be terminals in the coverage area of the AP which are hidden to one another. This paper introduces this phenomenon, that we refer to as the natural hidden terminal problem, and analyzes the throughput of the AP under these circumstances with various conditions. The analysis includes the effects of the difference in the coverage of the AP and the mobile terminals as well as the capture effect caused by the near-far problem.

Performance of Wireless Lans in Radio Channels
Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) are faced with the presence of hidden terminals and the possibility of capture when operating in multipath radio channels. These phenomena complicate both their design and performance analysis. This paper considers the performance of wireless LANs with Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) protocol in fading channels. To assess the...

Many performance evaluations for IEEE 802.11distributed coordination function (DCF) have been previouslyreported in the literature. Some of them have clearly indicatedthat 802.11 MAC protocol has poor performance in multi-hopwireless ad hoc networks due to exposed and hidden nodeproblems. Although RTS/CTS transmission scheme mitigatesthese phenomena, it has not been successful in thoroughlyomit...

In Local Area Networks (LAN) connected together by bridges, flow control and smooth traffic in the network is very important. However, congestion at bridges can cause intensive loss of received frames. In addition, the received frames are thrown away and have to be retransmitted by the source station, which causes more congestion and massive reduction in the overall network throughput. The netw...

This paper investigates the performance of IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN) protocol’s Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) in the presence of mobile and hidden terminals. In order to study the joint effect of hidden terminals and user mobility on the performance of IEEE 802.11 DCF, we extend Tobagi and Kleinrock’s [14] hearing graph framework to model hidden terminals in a sta...
