Abstract

The main concerns of network performance are throughput, end-to-end packet delay and packet loss. A high-performance network is characterized by high throughput, small delay, and low packet loss. In this paper, a theoretical model to analyse the one hop throughput with regular structure operating under the CSMA/CA access protocol in wireless ad hoc networks is proposed. Numerical results show that we can find an optimal transmission range to achieve the highest throughput. An optimal transmission range is essential to limit the energy dissipation on the mobile devices
