Abstract
Mesh Deterministic Access (MDA) is a new Coordiation Function (CF) introduced by IEEE P802.11s/D0.03. To provide simulation results on the efficiency of MDA we use the same simulation tool as in 11-05-0600-03-000s-mesh-networks-alliance-proposal.ppt. Our simulation results indicate that MDA operates efficiently in Mesh topologies and avoids congestion without additional means. However, MDA is vulnerably by legacy entities that are not MDAaware. Traffic segregation is important therefore. Additional means may help to support coexistence of MDA with legacy entities when a single channel needs to be shared.
