Abstract

IEEE 802.11 specifies a network technology for wireless local area networks (LANs) and mobile user connections. The fundamental access mechanism in the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol is the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF). The throughput of LANs with the DCF mechanism under high load and in noise is evaluated by an analytical method, which ensures high estimation accuracy for any values of protocol parameters and bit error rates.
