Abstract :
This paper evaluates the performance of a class of multiple-access algorithms for wireless medium access in shared-channel multi-cell and ad hoc network environments. Based on the collision avoidance and fairness properties of the evaluated algorithms, this paper presents a wireless medium access protocol that provides significantly better channel utilization, delay, and delay variance characteristics compared to the IEEE 802.11 standard
