The paper proposed modeling and simulation of distributed WLAN in OPNET. This model comprises of network model, node model and process model. Network model is the basic topology structure, node model describes the inside function module of all kinds of communication nodes, process model is used to make certain the management manner and management process of data. Moreover, we compare two primary channel allocation mechanisms of MAC level in IEEE 802.11 WLAN, Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) and Point Coordination Function (PCF). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
