Throughput Analysis of IEEE 802.11bn Coordinated Spatial Reuse
Multi-Access Point Coordination (MAPC) is becoming the cornerstone of the IEEE 802.11bn amendment, alias Wi-Fi 8. Among the MAPC features, Coordinated Spatial Reuse (C-SR) stands as one of the most appealing due to its capability to orchestrate simultaneous access point transmissions at a low implementation complexity. In this paper, we contribute to the understanding of C-SR by introducing an analytical model based on Continuous Time Markov Chains (CTMCs) to characterize its throughput and spatial efficiency. Applying the proposed model to several network topologies, we show that C-SR opportunistically enables parallel high-quality transmissions and yields an average throughput gain of up to 59 Function (DCF) and up to 42 Service Set Packet Detect (OBSS/PD) mechanism.
