This paper evaluates by simulation the performance of the distributed queuing request update multiple access (DQRUMA) MAC protocol in a realistic indoor environment. This protocol has been simulated in conjunction with a type-II hybrid-ARQ protocol based on punctured R-S codes for the LLC layer. The analysis was carried out for a multicarrier modulation scheme (OFDM) with QPSK modulation on each carrier. The hidden Markov model (HMM) is used for modelling the physical layer of the system. The performance of the protocol in terms of throughput, mean delay, CLR and p.d.f. of the delay is presented. The pseudo-Bayesian algorithm as well as harmonic back-off are applied to calculate the retransmission probability for the backlogged users.
