Abstract

This paper first described the IEEE 802. 11 MAC layer access control mechanism DCF. Next, we analysis the basic and improved DCF back-off algorithm, and then we proposed exponential-half DCF back-off algorithm MIEhD. This algorithm is easy to implement and has excellent performance when there is small scale of nodes and avoiding the shortcomings of basic algorithm when there is large scale of nodes.
