<Abstract>

This manuscript introduces our concepts for throughput and delay analysis of IEEE802.11 multi-hop networks along with future works. In our opinion, analysis difficulties yields from the network-dynamics differences between uniformity and locality in spatiotemporal fields. The dynamics differences related with time scale can be solved by the hybrid concept of single-hop network analysis and long-hop one. The dynamics difference induced by network topology is solved by the concept of ``bottom-up analysis'', which is Network-layer modelingover Mac-layer one with respect to each node . Additionally, it is possible to express end-to-end delays including the spatio-temporal locality by applying the queuing theory over the hybrid concept. Our target is to establish a utility network-analysis method, which can be applied to easy comprehension of the network dynamics.
