Abstract

IEEE802.11DCF which is widely used wireless LAN standard employs RTS/CTS exchange for improving reliability of unicast transmission. But, broadcast receive ratio transmission is much lower than unicast transmission because the IEEE802.11DCF proceeds broadcast transmission without RTS/CTS exchange and ACK process. In this paper, we propose a new method for improving broadcast receive ratio transmission using 2-phase RTS/CTS handshakes sequence (DRTS).
