<Abstract>

This paper presents analytical expressions of network throughput for wireless 2-hop networks with tethering function at any offered load. Network throughputs can be obtained analytically by expressing collision probabilities and frame existence probabilities with respect to each node. The validities of the analytical expressions are confirmed from quantitative agreements between analytical and simulation results.
