Abstract

The MAC-part of the upcoming IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless LANs - named DFWMAC is based on a CSMA/CA-type access protocol with a rotating backoff window and an optional RTS/CTS message exchange. In this paper, following a short presentation of DFWMAC we will present the results of our simulative analysis of DFWMAC focusing on analysis and improvements of the basic key mechanisms - the RTS/CTS message exchange and the backoff algorithm.
