Several modifications of the IEEE 802.11 DCF access method have been proposed recently to improve the performance of wireless LANs. Up to now, such proposals have only been compared under ideal channel conditions. In this paper, we evaluate the impact of transmission errors on their performance in terms of aggregate throughput and fairness.
