Modeling intra-flow contention problem in IEEE 802.11 wireless multi-hop networks

This letter proposes a new approach to model the intra-flow contention problem in multi-hop networks. The model takes into consideration of neighboring interference, hidden-node collision and multi-rate scenario. It can be easily used to do admission control or to calculate the end-to-end capacity of a given multi-hop route. Simulation results validate its accuracy.
