Analysis of Protocol Capacity of IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol

Overview The efficiency of a WLAN depends upon its Medium Access Control Mechanism which dictates the sharing of the limited communication bandwidth of the wireless channel. In this paper, the generic IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN MAC protocol is studied and simulated as a sequential event process. The protocol capacity is defined as the fraction of channel bandwidth used by successfully transmitted messages. An analytical expression for this capacity is found as a ratio of time for successful transmission of a packet and the total time for that transmission inclusive of collision times and contention window times.
