Collision awareness (CA) multiple access networks include the carrier sense multiple access (CSMA), ALOHA, and Ethernet networks. In order to maximize throughput with minimum network delay, these networks employ control parameters such as persistence and backoff. Based upon previous analytic results, the authors derived an asymptotic closed form solution for CA networks. It is demonstrasted that by dynamically changing the persistent value one can ensure that the offered traffic will stay optimal and hence protect the network from over saturation. This technique will greatly enhance the performance of CA networks. Opnet simulation is used to validate the analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
