Time-diffusion synchronization protocol for wireless sensor networks (2005, background): “At saturation, the processing delay of an outgoing message, the number of retransmission, and the end-to-end delay flatten at different values [3], [5], [13], [ 19 ] depending on the 802.11 MAC parameters, e.g., node density and congestion window size.”
Queueing analysis and delay mitigation in IEEE 802.11 random access MAC based wireless networks (2004, background): “Existing work on the performance of the 802.11 MAC has focused primarily on its throughput and capacity [4], [15].”
IEEE 802.11 packet delay-a finite retry limit analysis (2003, methodology): “11 protocol using analytical modes [6] [7] or by means of simulation [8] [9].”
Performance analysis of IEEE 802.11e contention-based channel access (2004, background): “In [12]–[14], the backoff time was assumed to follow a geometric distribution with a parameter related to the average value of all the backoff times.”
Kalman filter estimation of the number of competing terminals in an IEEE 802.11 network (2003, background): “11 DCF [2], [3], [4], [5] show that performance is very sensitive to the number of stations competing on the channel, especially when the Basic Access mode is employed.”
