Delay Analysis of Distribution Coordination Function in IEEE 802 . 11

Distributed Coordination Function is the crucial component of IEEE 802.11 standard and has been examined over the past years. We extended the Markov Model to formulate the delay characteristic of the network. Our approach is unique in terms of finding the probability mass function of the time interval between successful transmissions of a station. These results are essential for predicting the performance of the system for QoS implementations.
