Energy-Optimum Throughput and Carrier Sensing Rate in CSMA-Based Wireless Networks

We propose a model for the energy consumption of a node as a function of its throughput in a wireless CSMA network. We first model a single-hop network, and then a multi-hop network. We show that operating the CSMA network at a high throughput is …

Throughput Modeling of Single Hop CSMA Networks with Non-Negligible Propagation Delay

We analyze the performance of the CSMA protocol under propagation delays that are comparable with packet transmission times. We propose a semi-Markov model for the 2-node CSMA channel. For the 2-node case, the capacity reduces to 40% of the …
