Abstract

In this paper, we study the performance modeling of a MAC protocol for ad hoc networks. Dual busy tone multiple access (DBTMA) is one of the MAC protocols designed for ad hoc networks. The existing performance model of DBTMA fails to take into consideration multi-cell interference, known as hidden terminal problem. We present a performance analysis that takes into account the multi-cell interference. The numerical results show lower channel throughput than that predicted by the existing performance model of DBTMA protocol. The numerical results are verified through simulation. Further, we extend our analytical model to power-controlled networks
