UDP throughput analysis for wireless multi-hop networks <Abstract> It is important to analyze the maximum-throughput in the IEEE 802.11 multi-hop networks quantitatively. In conventional works, the quantitative maximum-throughput analyses of a network with only one-way flow, and a long string network with a two-way flow were presented. However, there are various topologies with multiple flows in real networks. Therefore, it is also important to establish the comprehensive analytical method for the network throughput. This paper presents such a comprehensive analytical method. This method can be applicable to various topologies with multiple flows. This paper shows an analysis example of the maximum-throughput derivation in a wireless short-hop-string networks with a two-way flow. The comparison among analytical, simulation and experiment results proves the effectiveness of the analysis. |
