Concerning the high overheads of current channel access mechanisms and frequent collisions in high-density deployed Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), an enhanced mechanism named as Hybrid Frequency-domain Channel Contention (HFCC) based on frequency-domain channel contention was proposed. Firstly, the subcarriers within Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols which were used for frequency-domain channel contention were classified as contention subcarriers and information subcarriers. Secondly, two rounds of channel contention were performed when station (STA) needs to access channel and the confirmation of successful channel contention was performed if necessary. Finally, a single OFDM symbol was used to acknowledge correct reception of a packet. The theoretical analysis showed that, compared with Distributed Coordination Function (DCF), when many STAs (35 or so) were contending a channel in the network, the collision probability of HFCC declined 99.1%, and the system throughput of it increased 73.2%. In addition, the throughput of HFCC respectively increased by 35.7% and 75.2% compared with Back2F and REPICK. The analysis results show that HFCC can reduce the overhead while improving the robustness, which is suitable for high-density deployed network.
