Reliability and performance of general two-dimensional broadcast wireless network

In this paper, an analytic model is built to study the medium access control (MAC) performance and reliability of general two-dimensional (2-D) IEEE 802.11 based wireless networks for one-hop broadcast communications. First, a semi-Markov process (SMP) model is introduced to capture the medium contention and backoff behavior and the impact of hidden terminal problem in IEEE 802.11 broadcast wireless networks in a more precise way. An M/G/1/K...
