Modeling wireless data packet collisions. Example 16.75 simulates wireless data packet collisions to compute the probability of collision occurrence. Small data packets rarely collide, while data packets that are half the duration of the data window always collide. When collision occurs, no data is transmitted. Modify the program to find the data packet size that maximizes data throughput.

Example 16.75

Modeling wireless packet collisions

Figure 16.74 shows a Matlab script that simulates wireless data packet collisions using a set of variable packet sizes to compute the probability of collision. Small data packets rarely collide, while data packets that are half the duration of the data window always collide.
