Abstract :
The Home Phoneline Networking Alliance (HomePNA) 2.0 is an attractive proposition for home networking since it potentially allows transmission rates comparable to those of Ethernet, using existing installed telephone lines. This system adopts a CSMA/CD medium access control protocol with distributed fair priority queuing (DFPQ). We present a simple analytical model to compute the saturation throughput performance in the presence of a finite number of contending stations, which provides a guideline to the design of systems.
