This work presents a multi-criteria analysis of the MAC (media access control) layer misbehavior of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 802.11 standard, whose principle is to cheat at the protocol to increase the transmission rate by greedy nodes at the expense of the other honest nodes. In fact, IEEE 802.11 forces nodes for access to the channel to wait for a back off ...
