Multihop Adjustment for the Number of Nodes in Contention-Based MAC Protocols for Wireless Ad hoc Networks

Networking and Internet Architecture 2015-03-19 v1

Abstract

The number of contending neighbors of a node in a multihop ad hoc network has to be adjusted while analyzing the performance of the network such as computing the end-to-end delays along a path from a given source to a destination. In this paper, we describe a method to adjust the number of contending neighbors of a node in a multihop wireless ad hoc network. Our method is based on the minimum number of neighbors that has to be common between two consecutive nodes along a path. We derive an analytical expression for the adjustment factor.
