Abstract

The Home Phoneline Networking Alliance (HomePNA) 2.0 technology can establish a home network using existing in-home phone lines, which provides a channel rate of 4-32 Mbps. HomePNA 2.0 Medium Access Control(MAC) protocol adopts an IEEE 802.3 Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) access method, Quality of Service(QoS) algorithm, and Distributed Fair Priority Queuing(DFPQ) collision resolution algorithm. In this paper, we propose some mathematical models about the important elements of HomePNA 2.0 MAC protocol performance, which are Saturation Throughput, Packet Delay and Packet Jitter. Then, we present an overall performance analysis of HomePNA 2.0 MAC protocol along with simulations.

Home Phoneline Networking Alliance (HomePNA) 2.0 기술은 기존의 댁내 전화 선로를 이용하여 홈 네트워크를 구축하는 기술로서, 4-32 Mbps의 고속 데이터 전송 속도를 제공한다. 이러한 HomePNA 2.0의 Medium Access Control(MAC) 프로토콜은 IEEE 802.3 Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) 방식을 사용하면서, Quality of Service(QoS) 알고리즘을 제공하구 충돌 해결 알고리즘은 Distributed Fair Priority Queuing(DFPQ) 알고리즘을 사용한다. 본 논문은 HomePNA 2.0 MAC 프로토콜 성능의 중요 요소인 포화 처리율(Saturation Throughput), 패킷 지연(Packet Delay) 및 패킷 지터(Packet Jitter)에 대한 수학적인 모델을 제안하고, 이에 대한 모의 실험(Simulation) 결과를 제공하며, 각각의 모의 실험 결과를 분석함으로써, HomePNA 2.0 MAC 프로토콜의 성능을 종합적으로 분석한다.
