Utilization of a Wireless Network Performing CSMA/CA with Random Backoff Algorithm

Abstract Optimizing WLAN performance in IEEE 802.11 network with extremely different working environments is a difficult task. We must use a network that can provide the most benefits to its end-users to improve network strength and data transmission. To increase performance in this congested situation, we construct an adaptive backoff algorithm for the IEEE 802.11 DCF that enhances in congested network conditions, system throughput is improved, the collision probability is reduced, and good fairness is maintained. This paper deals with the utilization of networks for different backoff strategies for different network conditions. The results obtained were comparatively much better than the existing methods.
