In WiFi networks, mobile nodes compete for accessing a shared channel by means of a random access protocol called Distributed Coordination Function (DCF). Although this protocol is in principle fair, since all the stations have the same…
Analytical models for IEEE 802.11-based WLANs are invariably based on approximations, such as the well-known \textit{decoupling approximation} proposed by Bianchi for modeling single cell WLANs consisting of saturated nodes. In this paper,…
