Performance analysis of a persistent relay carrier sensing multiple access protocol

The Persistent Relay Carrier Sensing Multiple Access (PRCSMA) has been recently presented in the literature as a novel Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol based on the IEEE 802.11 and modified to cope with the contention among the relays in a Cooperative ARQ (C-ARQ) scheme. We present in this paper...

Description
Summary:The Persistent Relay Carrier Sensing Multiple Access (PRCSMA) has been recently presented in the literature as a novel Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol based on the IEEE 802.11 and modified to cope with the contention among the relays in a Cooperative ARQ (C-ARQ) scheme. We present in this paper a theoretical model to calculate the average cooperation delay of PRCSMA. Computer simulations have been carried out to assess the accuracy of the model.
