Abstract

The use of IEEE 802.11 standard in ad hoc networks causes some performance problems as throughput and fairness tradeoff.The purpose of this article is to improve this tradeoff. The proposed approach is an improvement of IEEE 802.11 standard which is based on optimal contention window size and attribution of similar value contention window to all nodes. The proposed solution is validated by simulations using the simulation tool NS2 (Network Simulator 2). Our protocol is better than IEEE 802.11 standard and Miop protocol in terms of global throughput and its Jain’s index is closed to 1.
