G-DCF: Improving System Spectral Efficiency through Concurrent Transmissions in Wireless LANs

This paper presents G-DCF, a MAC protocol for wireless LANs that can improve system spectral efficiency of wireless LANs by allowing more concurrent transmissions. The 802.11 DCF creates exposed terminals which are nodes that can transmit successfully but are blocked by carrier sensing. More potenti...
