Abstract(in English) In usual performance evaluations of Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA), probabilities of carrier detection and data reception are modeled to be a discontinuous function changing from 0% to 100% at a certain transmitter-receiver distance. In real systems, however, these probabilities change continuously against the receiver-transmitter distance even with the same average received CNR (Carrier-to-Noise Ratio) or CINR (Carrier-to-Interference plus Noise Ratio) due to the thermal noise or fading. In this paper, we have studied the throughput of wireless ad hoc networks taking account of the continuous carrier detection probability and the data reception probability. Analytical results indicate that, considering the above mentioned continuous probabilities, more than one problem such as hidden terminal or exposed terminal arise and decrease the system throughput, whereas only one problem decreases it in the analysis without assuming these probabilities. The analytical results are verified by a comparison of results from computer simulations assuming IEEE 802.11a protocol. Through network simulations, we also show that a routing algorithm can decrease network delay by taking the quality of wireless links into account especially when these continuous probabilities are assumed.
