چکیده
This paper describes a modification of the backoff mechanism for IEEE 802.11 networks. The efficiency of the modified backoff mechanism compared to that is currently used in the standard was analyzed. The realized throughput and the mean packet delay for DSSS and FHSS physical layers for different number of stations were determined. The overall rate of collisions that occurred during transmission was compared for both backoff mechanisms.

Delay Analysis of IEEE 802.11 DCF with modified Binary Exponential Backoff
In the design of wireless networks the medium access control (MAC) protocols have a very high impact on the performance of the network. The IEEE 802.11 is widely accepted technology for the Wireless LANs has been used by wireless networks. Delay is one of the important parameter to measure the performance of the wireless networks. We give a delay analysis of the Distributed Coordination Functio...
متن کاملDSCR: A More Stable MAC Protocol for Wireless Networks
Channel capacity is a scarce resource in wireless networks. However, the way in which IEEE 802.11 DCF uses random backoff time to resolve the channel contention leads to inefficient utilization of this scarce resource. In particular, in a highly loaded network, the portion of channel bandwidth wasted due to collisions is significantly high. Prior work proposes various ways to improve the perfor...
متن کاملDesign and Performance Evaluation of an Asymptotically Optimal Backoff Algorithm for IEEE 802.11 Wireless LANs
This paper presents and evaluates a distributed mechanism for the contention control in IEEE 802.11 Wireless LANs. Specifically, our mechanism named Asymptotically Optimal Backoff (AOB), dynamically adapts the backoff window size to the current load. AOB guarantees that an IEEE 802.11 WLAN asymptotically (i.e. for a large number of active stations) achieves its optimal channel utilization. The ...

In some recent researches Distributed Coordinate Function becomes an important mechanism in order to access the medium (Channel). The IEEE 802.11 protocol is based on Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) with a binary exponential backoff (BEB) algorithm to access the channel as the architecture of 802.11 handles MAC(Medium Access Control) layer and specification of P...
متن کاملThroughput Improvement in Wireless Multi-Hop Ad-Hoc Networks Using Load Control
IEEE 802.11 MAC is the most commonly used protocol in multi-hop ad-hoc networks which need no infrastructure. In multi-hop ad-hoc networks based on IEEE 802.11, since nodes try transmitting their packets at every possible slot, there is a high packet loss probability. This degrades network performance attributes such as throughput and fairness. In this paper, we focus on achieving the maximum t...
