Abstract :
A simple and accurate packet delay distribution analysis is presented for the RTS/CTS access scheme of the IEEE 802.11 distributed coordination function (DCF). The packet delay distribution is effectively studied by developing an analytical model that calculates the probability that a packet is successfully transmitted after experiencing a delay time equal to a given value. The model uses simple mathematical relations and provides accurate delay distribution curves. The accuracy of the analytical model is verified by simulations
