Koseoglu, M.Karasan, E.2016-02-082016-02-0820141089-7798http://hdl.handle.net/11693/26688Throughput model for non-persistent CSMA networks which was proposed by Kleinrock and Tobagi has been widely used, although it provides a loose lower bound when nodes are distributed in a large area because the analysis assumes that the propagation delay between each pair of users equals to the largest propagation delay in the network. We present a throughput analysis which considers the spatial distribution of nodes. We obtain a simple throughput expression which predicts throughput with an 8% maximum error whereas the earlier model results in a 44% error when the maximum propagation delay equals to the packet transmission time. © 2014 IEEE.EnglishSpatio-temporal analysisCarrier sense multiple accessModel resultsNon-persistent CSMAPacket transmissionsPropagation delaysSingle-hopSpatiotemporal analysisThroughput analysisThroughput modelingThroughputArticle10.1109/LCOMM.2014.020414.132292
