Abstract :
In wireless research, one of the issues that need to be addressed is increasing the throughput of the network. This paper first compares the throughput of different scheduling algorithms; IEEE 802.11, CSMA/CA and CSMA/CD. Secondly, it shows how by changing the value of time slots that is taken by a frame, from 10 to 40, the throughput performance of the IEEE 802.11/DCF function will increase to 13.45%. The algorithms were modeled by Matlab and Markov chain rules.
