Abstract

In this paper, a novel multiple access scheme using SMA(Split and Merge Algorithm) is proposed to reduce the accessdelay of wireless MAC protocols. The key idea of the SMA is to dynamically split and merge the contending terminals depending on their traffic loads for effective control of access to the channels. The SMA divides the collided terminals into several sub-groups if a collision occurs and merges the idle terminals of the split sub-groups into their original group. The merge algorithm can be used to resolve collision and split operation can be used to dynamic group management. The simulation results indicate that our algorithm may provide a higher throughput and a lower collision rate than the existing algorithms, especially under heavy traffic loads.

본 논문은 중앙 집중형 무선 MAC 프로토콜의 지연을 줄이기 위해 분할 및 합병 알고리즘-SMA(split and merge algorithm)를 사용한 새로운 다중 접근 기법을 제안한다. SMA의 아이디어는 각 단말의 트래픽 양에 따라 동적으로 단말을 분할과 병합을 한다는 것이다. SMA는 단말을 몇 개의 부그룹으로 나누어 각 그룹마다 서로 다른 타임 슬롯을 할당하는 방법이다. 본 알고리즘은 경쟁구간에서 충돌해결 기법과 아울러 사용될 수 있으며, 충돌해결을 위해 분할 연산(split operation)을, 그리고 동적 그룹 관리를 위해 병합 연산(merge operation)을 사용한다. 시뮬레이션에 의하면, 지연시간, 처리율 그리고 충돌률 등의 면에서 기존의 분할(Split) 알고리즘보다 더 나은 성능을 나타낸다.
