Abstract
Mean-field approximation is a method to investigate the behavior of stochastic models formed by a large number of interacting objects. A new approximation was recently established, i.e., the refined mean-field approximation, and its high accuracy when the number of objects is small has been shown. In this work, we consider the model of the 802.11 protocol, which is a discrete-time model and show how the refined mean-field approximation can be adapted to this model. Our results confirm the accuracy of the refined mean-field approximation when the model with N objects is in discrete time.
