Abstract :
Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) is a well known and distributed Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol that enables wireless stations to communicate with one another using a single medium. In this paper an analysis of the times between data transmission in this protocol has been performed and results obtained. Whilst neither analytically nor numerically complex these results lead to an insight of the behavior of a CSMA/CA system that enable a robust and efficient traffic analysis of these systems.
