The system throughput of the point-to-point radio model with the IEEE 802.11 DCF is analyzed.
The analysis is divided into two distinct parts.
First, we analyze the behavior of a single STA with the Markov chain [6], and we obtain data frame transmission probabilities and conditional collision probabilities of data frames.
Second, by considering the events that can occur within a generic (i.e. randomly chosen) slot time,
we introduce the system throughput that is expressed for any given propagation delay.
