Abstract
Wireless LANs provide an efficient and inexpensive way for the creation of networks that do not constrain the users’ mobility. Furthermore, advanced physical layer techniques have allowed wireless LANs to support bitrates that until recently were attainable only in wired networks. The growing penetration of WLANs in the market, as well as the wider spectrum of applications that these kinds of networks are called to support, demands the introduction of new methods for efficient medium access. In this paper, we propose and evaluate the performance of a medium access scheme that is based on the EY-NPMA protocol for medium access, showing through simulation the good characteristics of the proposed scheme.
