To complement existing single-hop and multi-hop throughput notions, we first propose a unified normalized throughput expression. Since current multi-hop metrics do not give much intuition on how close a MAC protocol's throughput performance is to the best achievable for a given network topology, we present a new variant that benchmarks against the maximum achievable throughput. It can be characterized by the product of the number of maximum successful simultaneous transmissions s max under saturated traffic conditions, and link rate R. We show how to compute s max via a linear programming formulation and demonstrate its use in both string and grid topologies. We also derive exact mathematical expressions for the maximum simultaneous transmissions for these two topologies. © 2006 IEEE. | Source Title: | IEEE Communications Letters | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/82820 | ISSN: | 10897798 | DOI: | 10.1109/LCOMM.2011.103111.111912 |
