Abstract
IEEE 802.15.3 is designed for high data rates multimedia applications in Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN). The piconet is the basic topology of IEEE 802.15.3, which consists of a number of independent devices and a Piconet Coordinator (PNC). Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol plays a vital role in determining the energy consumption of all devices within a piconet. IEEE 802.15.3 MAC adapts a hybrid approach, i.e., a combination of CSMA/CA and TDMA, in order to support real-time communication while maintaining the desired Quality of Service (QoS). The channel is bounded by superframe structures where each superframe consists of a beacon, a Contention Access Period (CAP), and a Channel Time Allocation Period (CTAP). In this paper, we focus on the CAP part of the superframe. Numerical approximations are derived to analyze the performance of CSMA/CA used in CAP in terms of probability of successful transmission, average number of collisions, and normalized throughput. Numerical results are validated by extensive simulations using NS-2 simulator.
