doc.: IEEE /457 January 2001 Enhanced-DCF Wireless MAC Protocol: Some Simulation Results Mathilde Benveniste AT&T Labs, Research Mathilde Benveniste, AT&T Labs - Research

2 Simulation Study Overview
January 2001 Simulation Study Overview TCMA and V-DCF are compared for two network configurations and various traffic loads Three priority classes are considered: High, Medium, and Low Packets from legacy stations are treated the same as medium priority packets The following statistics are plotted for stream aggregates referred to as “calls”: Total throughput for all calls (bits per sec) Goodput by call (bits per sec) Goodput/Application load by call Data sent by call (bits per sec) Dropped traffic by call (bits per sec) Media access delay (queueing plus contention time) by call (sec) Retransmissions by call (packets per sec) Mathilde Benveniste, AT&T Labs - Research
