Abstract
In recent year, the popularity of WLAN has generated much interests on improvement and performance analysis of the IEEE 802.11 protocol. In this paper, we analyze two medium access methods of the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol by investigating the MAC layer packet service times when arrival packet sizes have a general probability distribution. We use the M/G/1/K queueing model to analyze the throughput and the delay performance of IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol in a wireless LAN. We compare the performances of Basic access method and RTS/CTS access method. We take some numerical examples for the system throughput and the queue dynamics including the mean packet delay and packet blocking probability.
