Abstract

This paper presents a MAC (medium access control) layer protocol GRAPO (optimized group randomly addressed polling) for wireless (local area) data network. GRAPO statistically optimizes the original version of GRAP proposed earlier [6, 7, 9] to deliver smooth converging and better throughput/delay performance. It is a good candidate of MAC protocol for wireless LANs and other wireless network applications to serve time bounded services.
