Abstract

In this letter we develop an average-value analysis of the TCP performance in 802.11 WLANs. Our model characterizes the equilibrium conditions of the network, and this method yields a simple, yet precise, estimate of the throughput obtained by persistent TCP flows. Via simulations we study the accuracy of the model predictions.
