Since the advent of the first IEEE 802.11 standard for WLANs, several papers have been presented that evaluate the IEEE 802.11 DCF access method. In realistic WLAN environments frame errors usually occur due to non‐ideal channel conditions; in this way, papers including adverse transmission conditio...
