Abstract: This paper analyzes the performance of CDMA MAC protocol. Most CDMA MAC protocols are based on reservation mechanisms. However, performance curves of these protocols are generally obtained via simulation. We have established a complete Markov model and carried out performance analysis. Simulation results validate the correctness of the analysis method.

Key words: MAC protocol, model, CDMA wireless network
