Abstract

IEEE 802.11 MAC is the most commonly used protocol in multi-hop ad-hoc networks which need no infrastructure. In multi-hop ad-hoc networks based on IEEE 802.11, since nodes try transmitting their packets at every possible slot, there is a high packet loss probability. This degrades network performance attributes such as throughput and fairness. In this paper, we focus on achieving the maximum throughput of the given network topology by adding extra backoff time to random backoff time based on IEEE 802.11. Specifically, the optimal load rate is obtained with constraints of Carrier Sensing Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) mechanism.
