초록

IEEE 802.16 무선 MAN 표준안에서 best effort 서비스는 가장 낮은 우선 순위이며 예약 ALOHA 기반의 MAC 방식의 지원을 받는다. 이러한 MAC 방식에서 요청간의 충돌은 피할 수 없으므로 표준안은 충돌 중재를 위해 이진 지수형 back-off 규칙을 채택하였다. 본 논문에서는 throughput 성능의 향상을 위해 pristine 규칙과 metamorphosed 규칙으로 명명된 p-persistence 규칙에 기반한 두 가지 충돌 중재 규칙을 대안으로 제시한다. 또한 각 규칙에서 포화 throughput의 근사값을 계산하는 해석적 방법을 개발한다. 모의 실험 결과와의 비교를 통해 이러한 해석적 방법의 높은 정확성을 확인하고 이진 지수형 back-off 규칙과의 비교하여 pristine 규칙 및 metamorphosed 규칙은 높은 포화 throughput을 가져올 수 있음을 관찰한다.

In the IEEE 802.16 Wireless MAN standard, the best effort service class is ranked on the lowest position in priority and is assisted by a MAC scheme based on reservation ALOHA. In such a MAC scheme, a collision among the requests is unavoidable so that the standard adopted a binary exponential back-off rule to arbitrate a collision. Aiming at improving throughput performance, we present two generic collision arbitration rules based on p-persistence rule, (identified as pristine and metamorphosed rules), as alternatives in a wireless MAN. For each of these rules, we then develop an analytical method to calculate an approximate value of saturated throughput. In comparison with simulation results, we confirm the high accuracy of the analytical method. Also, the pristine and metamorphosed rules are observed to exhibit higher saturated throughput compared with the binary exponential back-off rule.
