For this we derive average access delays and throughputs in closed-form for different multi-channel MAC approaches in case of Poisson arrivals. Correctness of theoretical results is verified by simulations. Performance of the protocols is analyzed with respect to various critical operation parameters such as number of available channels packet size and arrival rate. Presented results can be used to evaluate the performance of multi-channel MAC approaches in various scenarios and to study the impact of multichannel communications on different wireless applications. More importantly the derived theoretical results can be exploited in network design to ensure system stability. I. Introduction Multi-channel communications form the basis of various future wireless systems such as cognitive radio next generation cellular and wireless sensor networks WSNs . The reason for this is that the performance of a wireless network can be improved by exploiting multiple frequency channels simultaneously to ensure robustness minimize delay and or enhance throughput. In general performance of multi-channel networks is heavily dependent upon used Media Access Control MAC protocols and efficient medium access schemes are considered as an essential part of any power-limited self-configurable wireless ad hoc network 1 . Furthermore delay and throughput are important Quality of Service .
