Scaling of Spatial Reuse and Saturation Throughput in a Class of MAC Protocols

In this paper, we investigate the spatial reuse and saturation throughput of static ad-hoc networks with unbiased medium access control (MAC) protocols. Under the stochastic assumptions of our model, we obtain the upper bound on the equivalent saturation throughput of such MAC protocols as a function of node density. We also obtain the scaling properties of the spatial reuse and saturation throughput.
