which are consistent with the results obtained by QualNet 4.5.1 [9], and numerical results calculated using the conventional
synchronized slot model.
The propagation delay ä is plotted on the horizontal axis and is in the range of 1–50 ìs.
These values of ä correspond with transmission distances in the range of 0.3–15 km. The system throughput is plotted on the vertical axis.
The values of ä that result in performance degradation are
