摘要:The IEEE 802.11 backoff algorithm is very important for controlling system throughput over contentionbasedwireless networks. For this reason, there are many studies on wireless network performance focus ondeveloping backoff algorithms. However, most existing models are based on saturated traffic loads, whichare not a real representation of actual network conditions. In this paper, a dynamic control backoff timealgorithm is proposed to enhance both delay and throughput performance of the IEEE 802.11 distributedcoordination function. This algorithm considers the distinction between high and low traffic loads in orderto deal with unsaturated traffic load conditions. In particular, the equilibrium point analysis model is usedto represent the algorithm under various traffic load conditions. Results of extensive simulationexperiments illustrate that the proposed algorithm yields better performance throughput and a betteraverage transmission packet delay than related algorithms.
