  • Abstract
    The MAC layer performance analysis of multi-hop ad hoc networks, is a challenging exercise due to the fact that the behavior of a node is dependent not only on its neighbors´ behavior, but also on the behavior of other unseen nodes. In this paper, an approach to model the throughput performance of such networks that provides an accurate approximation is presented. The accuracy of the model is shown by applying it to 802.11-based ad hoc networks and comparing with simulation results.
