Abstract

In this paper, MAC(Medium Access Control) algorithm for the IEEE 802.11 DCF(Distributed Coordination Function) improving the performance is proposed and analyzed by simulation. The MAC of IEEE 802.11 WLAN to control data transmission uses two control methods called DCF and PCF(Point Coordination function). The DCF controls the transmission based on CSMA/CA(Carrier Sense Multiple Access With Collision Avoidance). The DCF shows excellent performance relatively in situation that competition station is less but has a problem that performance is fallen from throughput and delay viewpoint in situation that competition station is increased. This paper proposes an enhanced DCF algorithm that increases the CW to maximal CW after collision and decreases the CW smoothly after successful transmission in order to reduce the collision probability by utilizing the current status information of WLAN. To prove efficiency of proposed algorithm, a lots of simulations are conducted and analyzed.

본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.11 WLAN(Wireless LAN)의 MAC(Medium Access Control)인 DCF(Distributed Coordination Function)의 성능을 개선하는 알고리즘을 제안하고 이를 시뮬레이션으로 분석한다. IEEE 802.11 WLAN의 MAC에서는 데이터 전송을 제어하기 위한 방법으로 DCF와 PCF(Point Coordination Function)를 사용하며, DCF의 경우 CSMA/CA(Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance)를 기반으로 한다. DCF는 경쟁 스테이션이 적은 상황에서는 비교적 우수한 성능을 보이나 경쟁 스테이션의 수가 많은 경우 처리율, 지연 관점에서 성능이 저하되는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 패킷 전송 후 충돌이 발생하면 윈도우 값을 최대 CW로 증가시키고 패킷의 정상적인 전송 후에는 윈도우 값을 서서히 감소함으로써 현재 WLAN의 망 상태정보를 계속 활용함으로써 패킷 충돌 확률을 낮추는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘의 효율성을 입증하기 위해 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 그 타당성을 제시하였다.
