Abstract

In the wireless ATM networks, a Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol is required to support an integrated mix of multimedia traffic services. The MAC protocol should be designed in a way that the limited wireless bandwidth can be efficiently utilized maximizing the Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees for various traffic service classes. In this paper, a Dynamic Resource Allocation-based MAC protocol, which satisfies QoS of each traffic service class in the wireless ATM environment, is proposed. The proposed MAC protocol adopts the dynamic channel allocation schemes for a mix of different traffic service classes. The suggested MAC protocol is designed to provide the QoS guarantees for Constant Bit Rate (CBR) or real-time Variable Bit Rate (VBR) traffic through fixed or dynamic reservation. For Available Bit Rate (ABH) traffic, which has the lowest priority among the traffic classes, large improvement in delay by reserving the minimum bandwidth is shown. And for real-time VBR traffic, increase in throughput of transmission is demonstrated because of bandwidth, which is allocated through contention at the initial phase and without contention thereafter.

무선 ATM 환경에서 다양한 멀티미디어 트래픽을 지원하기 위해서는 매체 접RMS 제어(MAC) 프로토콜이 필요하다. MAC 프로토콜은 다양한 트래픽 클래스에 대한 QoS를 보장하면서 제한된 무선 대역폭을 효율적으로 활용할 수 있도록 설계되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 서로 다른 종류의 트래픽이 혼재된 무선 ATM 환경에서 각 서비스 클래스의 QoS를 만족할 수 있는 동적 자원 할당 방식 기반의 MAC 프로토콜을 제안하였다. CBR이나 VBR에 비해 낮은 우선 순위를 가지는 ABR 트래픽에 대해서는 최소 대역폭을 확보함으로써 지연을 크게 개선하였으며, 실시간 VBR 트래픽의 경우에는 대역폭이 초기에 경쟁을 통해 할당되고 이후로는 경쟁 없이 대역폭을 할달함으로써 처리율을 증가시켰다.
