Abstract: | This paper introduces an analytical model to investigate the energy efficiency of the IEEE 802.11 distributed coordinated
function (DCF). This model not only accounts for the number of contending nodes, the contention window, but also the packet
size, and the channel condition. Based on this model, we identify the tradeoff in choosing optimum parameters to optimize
the energy efficiency of DCF in the error-prone environment. The effects of contention window and packet size on the energy
efficiency are examined and compared for both DCF basic scheme and DCF with four-way handshaking. The maximum energy efficiency
can be obtained by combining both the optimal packet size and optimal contention window. To validate our analysis, we have
done extensive simulations in ns-2, and simulation results seem to match well with the presented analytical results.
