<Abstract>

In IEEE 802.11 wireless multi-hop networks, each node works individually and their individual operations generate entire network dynamics. It is important to clarify the network dynamics in wireless multi-hop networks for designing and constructing multi-hop commu- nication networks. This paper investigates back-off stage synchronization in the wireless multi-hop network with one way flow. This paper presents analytical expressions of maximum throughput of the network topology with one-way flow taking into account the backoff-stage synchronization. The analysis technique and obtained analytical expressions are verified by the comparison with simulation results.
