Abstract
The recently emerging possibility of ubiquitous wireless connectivity has increased the importance of the effective radio bandwidth usage. In the case of distributed multiple access MAC algorithms are needed that lower the probability of collisions. The authors focus on a new wireless medium access procedure that aims to increase the efficiency of the radio bandwidth usage. The presented VTBM (virtual transmission based MAC) procedure is based on the dynamic p-persistent algorithm and uses a virtual transmission mechanism. Simulation results presented demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the exponential backoff algorithm used in 802.11 DCF MAC regarding throughput and collision rate.
