  • Abstract
    CSMA with Enhanced Collision Avoidance (CSMA/ECA) uses a deterministic backoff after successful transmissions to significantly reduce the number of collisions. This paper assesses by means of simulations the throughput and conditional collision probability obtained from a single-hop ad-hoc network using CSMA/ECA. A comparison with the legacy CSMA/CA reveals that the proposed protocol outperforms the legacy one in all considered scenarios. Specifically, it is shown that CSMA/ECA presents advantages for both rigid and elastic flows.
