Performance comparison of CSMA/CD, CSMA/CA, CSMA/RI, CSMA/PRI and CSMA/PR with BEB

This paper is addressed to analyze the performance of various CSMA protocols under disaster scenario. The performance is measured in terms of the total duration to recover, the mean delay and the throughput when a network disaster takes place. Our model includes the widely used BEB algorithm and is implemented for CSMA/CD, CSMA/CA, CSMA/RI, CSMA/PRI, and CSMA/PR in the purpose of performance comparison. It's observed that CSMA/PR is able to offer satisfying performance for small-size packets, while CSMA/RI is better for large-size packets. Also whenever the network involves priority packets, CSMA/PRI would be an optimal solution.
