Abstract

Every MAC (Medium Access Control) sub-layers of IEEE 802.11x, including IEEE 802.11e, defines Connection-based and CF (Contention Free)-based service functions in common. In this paper, a New-CF method is proposed. In the proposed method, conventional Round Robin method, which is used as a polling method by IEEE 802.11x PCF (Point Coordination Function) or IEE 802.11e HCCA, is modified to give weights to channels with heavier traffic load and to provide those weighted channels with more services. Based on NS-2 simulations, it is verified the proposed method shows better throughput in general, particularly under unbalanced traffic load conditions.

IEEE 802.11e를 포함한 IEEE 802.11x의 모든 매체접속제어 부계층은 형태는 다르지만 공통적으로 CP(Contention Period)와 CFP(Contention Free Period) 서비스 기능을 정의하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 현재 여러IEEE 802.11x PCF나 IEEE 802.11e HCCA 상에서 서비스되고 있는 기존 라운드로빈 방식의 폴링 기법을 수정하여 트래픽의 부하가 큰 채널을 선택하여 가중치를 주어 서비스할 수 있는 New-CF 방식을 제안하였다. NS-2로 기존 기법과의 비교를 수행한 시뮬레이션 결과 전체적인 통과율이 상승한 것을 검증하였다.
