초록

본 논문은 CSMA/CA 경쟁방식 프로토콜을 사용하는 무선 PAN(WPAN: Wireless Personal Area Network)을 위해 QoS를 보장하고 에너지 효율적인 전송을 위한 방법을 제안한다. WPAN 장치들은 제한된 배터리 용량의 전지로 동작하기 때문에 에너지 소모는 WPAN 시스템에서 가장 중요한 문제 중의 하나이다. 따라서 WPAN이 경쟁기반 MAC 프로토콜을 사용할 경우 독립적 채널 접근 시도에 의한 충돌로 인하여 에너지 소모 문제는 더 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 에너지 소모를 최소화하면서 QoS를 보장하기 위해 최적의 fragment 크기, 변조 수준과 전송 전력을 선택하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘에 대한 성능평가를 수행하여 개선정도를 시뮬레이션 결과에 제시하였다.

In this paper, we propose a QoS guaranteed and energy-efficient transmission scheme for Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs), which operate in conjunction with contention-based access protocols such as CSMA/CA. Energy consumption is one of the most important issues in WPAN systems, because WPAN devices are often required to operate under limited battery capacity. Furthermore, if the WPAN adopts a contention-based medium access protocol, the energy consumption problem becomes even more critical due to the collisions caused by independent channel access trials. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an algorithm that selects the optimum fragment size, modulation level, and transmission power, in order to minimize the energy consumption and guaranteethe QoS (Quality of Service) requirements, simultaneously. Our simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance than the previous ones.
