본 논문에서는 방향성 안테나를 사용하는 이동 노드들로 구성된 애드 혹 네트워크에서의 새로운 매체 접근 제어 프로토콜을 제안한다. 고려된 네트워크에서는 단일 채널이 사용되며, 각각의 노드는 하나의 트랜시버와 m개의 방향성 안테나를 사용하며 특정 안테나를 필요시 on/off할 수 있다고 가정한다. 제안된 프로토콜은 은닉 단말기 문제를 해결하여 서로 다른 노드로부터 동일 노드로 전송되는 사용자 데이터 프레임의 충돌을 방지하는 한편, 노출 단말기 문제를 해결하여 이웃한 노드들이 서로 다른 노드들로 사용자 데이터 프레임을 동시에 전송 또는 수신할 수 있다. 네트워크 이용도에 있어서도 단일 채널 애드 혹 네트워크의 매체 접근 제어 프로토골 중 가장 우수한 것으로 알려진 DBTMA보다도 최대 25%정도 향상되었다.

WATM(Wireless ATM)에서의 매체접근제어(Medium Access Control)는 QoS를 보장하기 위해 다양한 방식들이 제안되어 왔다. 현재까지 제안되어 온 매체접근제어 방식들은 시분할 다중화 방식 (TDMA)과 예약경쟁방식을 주로 사용하고 있다. 이때 활용되는 기능에는 QoS를 보장하기 위해 통계적 다중화, 스케쥴링 또는 예약 방식 등이 있는데 경쟁 방식은 아직까지 slotted-ALOHA를 그대로 사용하고 있다. Slotted-ALOHA방식의 단점을 개선하기 위하여 통계적 방식으로 경쟁을 제어하거나 물리적 방식으로 경쟁을 분리시켜 그 효율을 향상 시켜왔으나 우선 순위가 같은 이동국들이 많을 경우에는 해결할 방법이 없었다. 이러한 문제점들은 기지국 중심의 경쟁방식이라는 점이 그 문제를 해결하는데 있어서의 걸림돌이다. 본 논문에서는 이미 슬롯을 할당받은 동료 이동국에게 예약요청을 피기백킹(piggybacking)함으로써 신속하게 슬롯을 할당을 받을 수 있는 분산 경쟁방식을 제안한다.

Research on media access control (MAC) scheme for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has been mainly focused on energy efficiency improvement, while interest on latency is relatively weak. However, end-to-end latency could be a critical limitation specifically in the multi-hop network such as wireless multimedia sensor networks. In this paper we propose a media access control scheme with distributed transmission power control to Improve end-to-end transmission latency as well as reduce power consumption in multi-hop wireless sensor networks. According to the simulation results, the proposed scheme is turned out to be an energy efficient scheme with improved end-to-end transmission latency.

1980년대초부터 미국표준협회(ANSI)의 X3T9.5위원회에서 표준화가 진행되어 온 FDDI는 100 Mbps급의 고속통신망으로서 현재 다양한 컴퓨터 사업자, 제조업자들의 관심하에 실용화되고 있다. 그러나 FDDI는 구조 및 전송속도의 한계로 제한된 서비스만을 제공하기 때문에 멀티미디어, HDTV등 다양한 서비스 요구를 만족시키기 위한 새로운 통신망 구조를 필요로 하게 되었다. 이에 X3T9.5 위원회는 최근, FDDI follow-on LAN(FFOL)에 관한 표준화를 진행하고 있어 관심을 끌고 있다. 본고에서는 FFOL의 구조 및 요구사항을 기술하며, 현재까지 FFOL을 위해 제안된 대표적인 매체접근제어 (MAC)프로토콜들을 기술하고 비교 분석한다.

In order to reduce end-to-end delay in EH-WSN (energy harvestin wireless sensor netowk), medium access control protocols using multi-hop routing technique have been studied. In a real environment, there are many situations where it is difficult to harvest enough energy than the energy consumed. Therefore, it is required to design a MAC protocol that allows nodes to reliably relay data without exhausting power in multi-hop transmission. In this paper, we propose a power-efficient MAC protocol that can select the relay node according to the residual power and the energy collection rate to increase network lifetime.

Wireless sensor networks are used in various applications due to the flexibility of network. In particular, the energy harvesting wireless sensor network (EH-WSN) has been introduced to solve the power limitation problem, and the application range of the sensor network is further expanded. In order to transmit the sensed data to the destination node, the MAC protocol considering the power of the nodes has been studied. The power situation and the urgency of the data are important elements of data transmission, and a medium access control protocol that comprehensively considers data urgency and power of nodes is required. In this paper, we propose a medium access control protocol which can select relay nodes according to power situation and urgency of data.

Underwater acoustic sensor networks exhibit characteristics such as high propagation delay and low data rates, which are different from those of terrestrial wireless networks. Therefore, the conventional protocols used in wireless networks can be restrictive and inefficient when applied to underwater acoustic sensor networks. In this paper, we propose a medium access control protocol (MAC) to enhance the energy efficiency and throughput in underwater acoustic sensor networks. The proposed protocol employs a slot-based competition mechanism that reserves a time slot to send a data packet in advance. In the proposed protocol, collision between nodes can occur due to competition to obtain a slot. However, the proposed protocol minimizes the collisions between nodes because the nodes store the reservation information of the neighboring nodes, this reduces unnecessary energy consumption and increases throughput. We perform a simulation to evaluate the performance of the proposed protocol with regard to the energy consumption, the number of collision, channel utilization, throughput and transmission delay. We compare the proposed protocol with the conventional protocol, and the performance results show that the proposed protocol outperforms the conventional protocol.

In this paper, we propose a medium access control(MAC) protocol for reducing the energy efficiency and for improving the transmission efficiency in underwater acoustic sensor networks. In underwater environment, the transmission delay is longer and bandwidth is smaller than terrestrial environment. Considering these points, we propose a new MAC protocol to enhance throughput and to manage efficiently the energy of nodes. The proposed protocol operates as a channel reservation scheme to decrease data collisions, and uses a mechanism to control the hidden node problem and the exposed node problem occurred in ad hoc networks. The proposed protocol consists of the slotted based transmission frame and reduces data collisions between nodes by putting separately the reservation period in the transmission frame. In addition, it is able to solve the hidden node problem and the exposed node problem by reservation information between nodes. We carry out the simulation to evaluate the proposed protocol in terms of the average energy consumption, the ratio of collision, throughput, and the average transmission delay, and compare the proposed protocol to a traditional MAC protocol in the underwater environment. The simulation results show that the proposed protocol outperforms the traditional protocol under a various of network parameters.
