Network management in short-range mobile radio networks: Performance tuning optimizes collision behaviour

Abstract
The authors evaluate several network management algorithms to increase the performance of short-range mobile radio networks concerning collision avoidance and reduction of collision duration measured in frames. It is shown that suitable choice of transmission power with independent antenna systems fulfils requirements of applications while increasing the communication performance. The evaluations are made by simulations of a three-lane unidirectional highway. It is shown that earlier investigations of optimal transmission ranges are not satisfactory compared to the requirements of applications.
