Abstract
This paper proposes a location-based MAC (LMAC) scheme for wireless networks with randomly placed nodes. This scheme regulates channel access by sharing local location information among transmitters. A lattice approximation approach is used to derive upper and lower bound for the success probability for a typical transmission attempt. Numerical results show that with the node density and link distance fixed, the optimal LMAC provides a much higher density of successful transmissions than CSMA and ALOHA.
