Analysis of IEEE 802.11 DCF Error Frame Model and Improvement of the Simulation Algorithm

In this paper, the concept of IEEE 802.11 DCF error frame model is proposed. This paper points out the error of the simulation algorithm of the DCF error frame model in GloMoSim in detail, based on the analysis of the model. To solve this problem, the algorithm is modified strictly according to the specifications of the DCF error frame model. The simulation results show that compared with the original simulation algorithm, the modified algorithm can simulate the related specifications of the DCF error frame model more correctly, thus can provide more reliable simulation results.
