Summary:
In Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) of IEEE802.11 Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), it is known that data frame collisions often occur if the number of wireless terminals increases. To solve this problem, a novel media access control method based on synchronization phenomena of coupled oscillators (SP-MAC) has been proposed. SP-MAC can obtain higher total throughput compared to CSMA/CA in a single-rate environment where all terminals use same transmission rate. However, the performance of SP-MAC over a multi-rate WLAN environment has not been evaluated. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of SP-MAC over the multi-rate WLAN environment and clarify that SP-MAC can get higher total throughput compared to CSMA/CA.
