An Analysis of a Modified Point Coordination Function in IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN
Since the point coordination function (PCF) in the IEEE 802.11 is based on a centralized polling protocol, some bandwidth is wasted due to the polling overheads and also due to packets that are issued in case a polled station does not have any data to transmit. In order to reduce this waste and increase the channel utilization, we have proposed a modified version of the standard PCF. The modified
