Abstract

The performance analysis of a distributed access wireless network, in which nodes are randomly distributed [namely, a random wireless network (RWN)] over a large area, is challenging. An effective mathematical modeling of these networks can help network designers to predict whether a given set of quality-of-service (QoS) requirements can be satisfied prior to the real network deployment. Previous models for the performance analysis of multihop RWNs fail to give accurate results due to the assumption of a single-hop, limited, and a priori known number of stations; negligence of the hidden terminals; and the use of a Boolean logic collision model. In this paper, we develop an alternative probabilistic modeling approach to analyze the performance of these networks in medium-access-control (MAC) and network layers. Using the proposed modeling approach and obtained metrics, we can identify a set of optimal parameters to maximize the performance of the networks.
