GDCF: game-theoretic distributed co-ordination function in WLANs

A game-theoretic DCF (GDCF) in IEEE 802.11 is presented, to improve the performance of WLANs by designing a simple auto-degressive backoff mechanism based on incompletely co-operative game theory. Simulation results show that GDCF can increase system throughput and decrease delay and packet-loss-rate while maintaining reasonable energy consumption
