An efficient numerical method for performance analysis of contention MAC protocols a case study (PRMA++).

Several multiple access control (MAC) protocols of industrial interest can be modeled by discrete-state discrete-time Markov chains, with finite lower block Hessenberg probability transition matrices PN, where the diagonal blocks have a size which decreases while passing from the top left block (A0,...
