Abstract
In the IEEE 802.16 Wireless MAN standard, the best effort service class is ranked on the lowest position in priority so that only scarce resource may be available for it. Also, the best effort service is usually assisted by a MAC scheme based on reservation ALOHA without explicit acknowledgement. However, the standard only specifies the skeleton of the MAC scheme. In this paper, we propose some rules to specify the indefinite part of the MAC scheme as well as to improve the throughput and delay performance of the MAC scheme. As generic rules for demanding and granting resource, we first propose non-gated exhaustive, gated exhaustive, non-gated limited, and gated limited demand rules, and deficient and full grant rules. Secondly, we propose grant regulation rules, identified as replacement and lifetime rules, to avoid excessive grant incurred by not giving acknowledgement. Noting the residual resource is inflated by adopting a grant regulation rule, we finally propose a rule for investing the residual resource to a subscriber station. Simulation results confirm that a combination of proposed rules improves the performance of the MAC scheme.
