Abstract
In the contention resolution of the IEEE 802.11 DCF algorithm with constant contention window, there may be wasted slots at the end of the frame. This paper proposes two algorithms to improve the performance of IEEE 802.11 DCF algorithm with constant contention window by using the method of reducing the wasted slots at the end of the frame. The first algorithm is reducing wasted slots at the end of last frame (RLF) and the second algorithm is reducing wasted slots at the end of every frames (REF). Based on the results, it is found that the REF algorithm offers superior performance and the RLF algorithm performs better than the IEEE 802.11 DCF with constant contention window algorithm. We can conclude that both proposed algorithms can improve system performance, especially when there are large amounts of slots per frame. The appropriate number of slots per frame should be used in order to ensure optimal system performance.
