Performance of CSMA-CA MAC protocol for distributed radio local area networks

Carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA-CA) will be used as the basic medium access control (MAC) protocol for wireless LANs. Wireless LAN will be supporting two types of services, time bounded and asynchronous data transmission. In this paper we present simulation results for t...

Summary:Carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA-CA) will be used as the basic medium access control (MAC) protocol for wireless LANs. Wireless LAN will be supporting two types of services, time bounded and asynchronous data transmission. In this paper we present simulation results for throughput and delays for a distributed radio LAN for different values of inter frame spacing periods, transmission speeds and number of nodes. Depending on the application, the results obtained suggest that proper inter frame space values have to be chosen for optimal network performance.
