Abstract
This paper presents a novel analytical model and an efficient admission control (AC) algorithm for IEEE 802.11 distributed coordinated function access mechanism. In contrast to the previous approaches, both saturated and unsaturated states of network are analyzed and the impacts of error‐frame rate and retransmission limit are also taken into account based on an improved Markov chain model. Thus, the network resources can be efficiently utilized. Taking the throughput difference between saturated and unsaturated states as the residual bandwidth, an efficient AC algorithm is designed to utilize the network resources effectively. Extensive simulation data match our analytical results and demonstrate that the AC algorithm is efficient and can make the effective utilization of network resources.
