This paper analyzes the performance of IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol under a disaster scenario. The performance is measured in terms of the recovery time and the throughput of the protocol when a network disaster occurs. To make the problem amenable to analysis, some approximations are used, and a new technique to collapse a very large state space is introduced. The analytical results are found to agree with simulations.
