Abstract
AbstractMuch research has been conducted on saturation throughput of IEEE802.11 DCF, and has led to some improvement. But increasing the successful transmission probability of packet is also important for saving stations' battery energy and decreasing the packet delay. In this paper, we define a new performance parameter, named Product of successful transmission Probability and saturation Throughput (PPT), for 802.11 DCF, which binds successful transmission probability and saturation throughput together. An analysis is given to maximize PPT. An expression of optimal minimum contention windows (CWmin) is obtained analytically for maximizing PPT. For simplicity, we give a name DCF‐PPT to the 802.11 DCF that sets its CWmin according to this expression. The performance of DCF‐PPT is simulated with different stations in terms of saturation throughput, successful transmission probability and PPT. The simulation results indicate that, compared to 802.11 DCF, DCF‐PPT can significantly increase the PPT and successful transmission probability (about 0.95) on condition that the saturation throughput is not decreased.
