A Queuing Model for IEEE 802.11 DCF Performance Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

A queuing model is proposed to analyze the performance of IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF). By regarding the network performance in the unsaturated case as the expected mean of the network performance in the different saturated cases, the proposed model extends the application scenarios from the saturated case to the nonsaturated case. The queuing model can be used to analyze the network performance and QoS parameters of the stations for different traffic conditions. In addition, this model also applies to the cases in shadow channels. Compared to the existing work based on the classic Markov model, the proposed model is more general and can be used in more complex and practical scenarios.
