Abstract

We propose an analytical approach for evaluating the impact of physical carrier sensing in simple wireless access networks. We describe the system through a time-continuous Markov Chain, and we gather from its solution performance measures in terms of throughput and collision probability. We derive qualitative dimensioning criteria for the carrier sensing itself under different network conditions.
