Abstract :
In this paper, the sliding frame reservation Aloha (SFRA) MAC protocol is analyzed considering the adverse effects of mobile hidden station problem. This paper also presents how SFRA addresses neighborhood capture problem. The analysis shows that any distributed protocol like IEEE 802.11 does not address the adverse effects of these problems. Probabilities of successful transmissions considering a variable number of mobile hidden stations as well as the channel accessing probabilities of a blocked station are calculated in this paper by using Combinatorics theory. The analysis shows that SFRA provides about 80 percent probability of successful transmission with two active mobile hidden stations.
