A cross-layer payload-dropping scheme for improving CSMA/CA throughput in interference-limited co-channel cells by Jayabal, Raymond J.

“…The results also show that, under exactly the same deployment scenario and propagation environment, and using exactly the same TPC and CST settings, the throughput for PDCSMA is more than the throughput for CSMA/CA, and the increase in the throughput for PD-CSMA/CA is larger than the increase of the throughput for CSMA/CA as the fade margin (employed to combat lognormal shadowing) for both protocols is increased in equal amount. …”
