Abstract:
In this paper, we propose an analytical Markovian model to compute the performance of a network composed by four radios in a line wireless multihop configuration, with data in only one way, considering four operation modes, with half duplex and full duplex communications and omnidirectional and directional antennas. This kind of network was previously presented in the literature, but its performance has been analyzed only based on simulation. We use the proposed Markovian model to compute the performance of the system considering that no buffer is available on the servers, based on the following performance metrics: throughput, capacity, block probability, drop probability, and the average number of packets in the network. We showed that in a system without buffer the performance of half duplex operation can be better than the performance of full duplex operation in terms of capacity and throughput.
