<Abstract>

This manuscript introduces an overview of throughput and delay analysis of IEEE 802.11 multi-hop networks from author's research, in particular. In our opinion, wireless multi-hop network analysis difficulties come from the network-dynamics multiplicity between uniformity and locality in spatiotemporal fields. Authors proposed the concept of ``bottom-up analysis'', which is Network-layer modeling over MAC-layer one with respect to each node. By expanding the bottom-up-analysis concept with queuing theory, it is possible to express end-to-end delays. Our target is to establish a generalized multi-hop network analysis method, which can be applied to easy comprehension of the network dynamics.
