  • Abstract
    We present a model of the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol considering heterogeneous non-saturated traffic flows in a single-hop scenario. We validate the model comparing several performance measures with simulation results, showing the model accuracy and ability to catch the effect of flow multiplexing over the shared channel
