Stochastic network calculus provides an elegant way to characterize traffic and service processes. However, little effort has been made on applying it to multi-access communication systems such as 802.11. In this paper, we take the first step to apply it to the backlog and delay analysis of an 802.11 wireless local network. In particular, we address the following questions: In applying stochastic network calculus, under what situations can we derive stable backlog and delay bounds? How to derive the backlog and delay bounds of an 802.11 wireless node? And how tight are these bounds when compared with simulations? To answer these questions, we first derive the general stability condition of a wireless node (not restricted to 802.11). From this, we give the specific stability condition of an 802.11 wireless node. Then we derive the backlog and delay bounds of an 802.11 node based on an existing model of 802.11. We observe that the derived bounds are loose when compared with ns-2 simulations, indicating that improvements are needed in the current version of stochastic network calculus.
