To evaluate the performance of distributed medium access control (MAC) layer of emerging ultra wideband (UWB) and 60-GHz millimeter wave (mmWave) wireless personal area networks (WPANs) based on distributed reservation protocol (DRP) of ECMA-368 and ECMA-387 standards, we provide an analytical model for the probability distribution of steady state throughput as a function of the network dimensions size, number of devices, antenna beamwidth, transmission range, bit error rate (BER), antenna

We also propose a formula for the starvation and fairness and using them, we found a major flaw in DRP, i.e., its poor fairness. We develop a fair DRP (FDRP) protocol and modify our model to cover it. The models are evaluated by simulation of ad-hoc network scenarios and results show that the average error is less than 2 percent.
