Analysis and performance assessment of a fragment retransmission scheme for energy efficient IEEE 802.11 WLANs

Backoff-free fragment retransmission (BFFR) scheme enhances the performance of legacy MAC layer fragmentation by eliminating contention overhead. The eliminated overhead is the result of backoff executed before a retransmission attempt is made when fragment transmission failure occurs within a fragm...
