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

“…Although limited to the fixed frame size and fixed contention window case, these models shed light on the throughput trends of PD-CSMA/CA with respect to the contention window length, number of nodes and header to frame length ratio of transmitted frames, and demonstrates its throughput gains over normal CSMA/CA theoretically. As a by-product of the effort to develop the analytical model for PD-CSMA/CA, we also developed formulations for the idle period distribution of single-cell CSMA/CA. …”
