Abstract
The main contribution of this work is to compare and enhance known
methods for performance analysis of the IEEE 802.11e MAC layer, such as the
use of Markov chains, queuing theory, and probabilistic analysis. It is the
first paper that bases its outputs upon comparison of metrics such as
complexity, flexibility, and accuracy, leading to the novel use of a
metamodeling comparison. For the analysis, complexity theory and the L-square
distance method for accuracy are used. In addition, the proposed analyses
carry by themselves scientific interest, because they are extended
enhancements with the latest EDCA parameters. A form of the PMF of the MAC
delay and first-order moments are found using the PGF complex frequency domain
function. The analyses incorporate a Gaussian erroneous channel in order to
reflect the real conditions of the MAC layer.
