4. Wide area network performance

In this section, we'll be looking at 802.11 performance on networks that are more extensive than the full networks studied in the previous section. In wide-area networks, some mobiles are not within communication range of others, unlike in full-area networks.

However, the scenarios presented here will only involve single-hop communications, i.e. two mobiles seeking to communicate are within radio range. No multi-hop routing will be used. We will therefore study the impact of flow geography on throughput, using the DCF mode of 802.11.

4.1 Extended sharing of the radio medium

The carrier detection mechanism plays an important role in 802.11, since it determines whether the channel is free or not, and therefore whether it's possible...
