Analysis for wireless ad-hoc networks with frame drop <Abstract> Hidden terminal problems are dominant factors of collisions in wireless networks with CSMA/CA, which deteriorates the network performance significantly. Especially, the hidden terminal problems cannot be ignored in multi-hop networks. Recently, the analyses of the maximum throughput for both single-hop and multi-hop networks were carried out. In addition, it is pointed out that coupling effects, which is interact with hidden terminals, appear in multi-hop networks. In this paper, analytical expressions for the maximum throughput, taking into account the frame drop caused by coupling effects, are given. The analytical expressions are verified from the simulation results. |
