In this research, a deferral framework for capacity analysis of wireless network is presented. Novel concepts like “deferral set” and “equivalent competitor” are proposed to characterize the competition in multi-hop network and facilitate the analysis. The framework provides a parametric approach that is universally applicable to any contention based medium access algorithms. NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSTIY BOSTON, MA September, 2000-Present Research Assistant, Re-configurable Wireless Networking and Communications Laboratory (RWIN Lab) Project Title: Performance study of IEEE 802.11 Analyze medium access control (MAC) protocol and power consumption analysis of IEEE 802.11b.
