IEEE 802.11 is a relatively new standard for communication in a wireless LAN. Its need arose from the many differences between traditional wired and wireless LANs and the increased need for interoperability among different vendors. To date, detailed performance measures for this CSMA/CA protocol are not known. This paper describes the results of the Discrete-Event Simulation of the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) within the MAC sublayer. An ideal LAN is modeled and the paper describes the best case performance.
