An analytical model is described to estimate the performance of the carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) protocol during the simultaneous transmit/receive (STR) operation of the upcoming IEEE 802.11ax amendment for WLANs. Furthermore, based on that model, an enhancement to the operation of CSMA/CA to increase its performance during the STR mode is proposed.
