In this paper, we first analyze the medium access delay of a packet in a terminal in the saturated IEEE 802.11 network. In our analysis, we use the renewal theory to analyze the detailed packet transmission processes of terminals in the network such as the backoff counter freezing. Using our detailed analysis of the packet transmission processes of terminals, we analyze the packet transmission process of a tagged terminal and the background traffic for the tagged terminal which is generated by non-tagged terminals, and derive the Laplace transform of the medium access delay of a packet under the saturated condition. Next, based on the analysis of the medium access delay under the saturated condition, we propose a mathematical model to analyze the packet overflow probability of an unsaturated terminal. We also provide numerical and simulation results to validate our analysis and investigate the characteristics of the system performance.
