Abstract

The effectiveness of wireless local area networks significantly depends on the method of access to the common physical environment. The main access method that is used today in wireless local area networks is carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA), managing the efficient distribution of the common environment between active stations. In this paper, as a topic of research we consider the state transition diagram of a CSMA/CA - based network, and we describe it by a system of differential equations. Analytical expressions for the probabilities of being in one of the possible states of a network station are derived.
