The voice traffic is one of the most important real-time objects in WATM(Wireless Asynchronous Transfer Mode) networks. In this paper, we propose a new MAC(Medium Access'Control) protocol for the efficienttransmission of voice traffic over WATM networks in the multimedia environment and compare the performanceto existing similar protocols. The new protocol separates the reservation slot period for voice and that for data toguarantee some level of QoS(Quality of Service) in voice traffic. This is denoted by a slot assignment functiondepending on the frame size. According to the characteristics of voice traffic which is repeatedly in silent states,the protocol allocates voice reservation request slots dynamically with respect to the number of silent(off state)voice sources and also sends the first block of talkspurt restarted after silent period with a reservation requestslot to reduce the access delay.The simulation results show that the proposed protocol has better performance than Slotted Aloha in bandwidthefficiency, and can serve a certain level of QoS by the given slot assignment function even when the number ofvoice terminals varies dynamically. This means we can observe that the new MAC protocol is much better thanthe NC-PRMA(None Collision-Packet Reservation Multiple Access) protocol.

Passive Optical Network(PON) architecture is a very simple. However media access protocol is necessary to the PON because the ONUs should share a channel in the upsteam direction. We propose the design of dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm for improved bandwidth utilization in the broad bandwidth access network that uses Ethernet PON. The object of our study shall be to decrease a unused remainder bandwidth of granted timeslot for a upstream traffic transmission. We propose that OLT notifies ONU of maximum transmission window during discovery and ONU request a amount under maximum transmission window after it checks a frame length. We confirm that the proposed algorithm shown improving performance from bandwidth utilization and queueing delay point of view through the simulation result.

Ad Hoc Self-Organizing TDMA (ASO-TDMA) has been proposed as a specification to support the multi-hop data communication service for ships over VHF band. It allows for organizing a multi-hop ad-hoc network in a distributed manner by sharing the radio resources among the ships navigating along the route. In this paper, Markov chain analysis is given to provide the average throughput performance for ASO-TDMA protocol Furthermore, the analytical results are verified with computer simulation, which shows that there exists the optimal transmission rate to maximize the average throughput as the subframe size and the number of ships are varying in each hop region.

In this paper, a node architecture of WDM metro network for connecting broadband access networks to converge wire/wireless networks. In consideration of the proposed node architecture and network requirements we proposed and evaluated medium access control protocols. We review WDM related technologies of sub-carrier multiplexing and optical components in order to resolve the bottleneck between optical backbone networks md access networks, and a access node architecture sharing common wavelength is introduced. Source-stripping (SS) MAC protocol Is evaluated under the proposed functional node architecture. DS+IS (Destination-Stripping and Source-Stripping) and DS+IS (Destination-Stripping and Intermediate-Stripping) MAC protocols are described to increase the slot-reuse factor which is low on SS MAC protocol. The key function of new MAC protocols regards the optical switch module of proposed node architecture and helps intermediate or source access nodes for dropping slots to destinations of different wavelength group. Thus, slot-reuse factor increases as the MAC protocols reduce the unnecessary ring-rotation of transferred slots. We use a numerical analysis to expect bandwidth efficiency and maximum throughput by slot-reuse factor Throughput network simulation, the verification of throughput, queuing delay, and transmission fairness are compared among MAC protocols.

Earlier efforts on optical access concentrated on the design of PONs for the collection and distribution portion of the access network. In these networks the optical hardware in the RN is very simple, but a multiple access protocol is needed for upstream traffic control. On the other hand, the role of communications is already well established in the office environment. With the advent of cheap, affordable broadband communications and the increasing complexity of consumer electronics, it seems natural to extend the network into the home. As the application of Home Area Network is ever increasing, we therefore consider connectivity between access network and home network which generates various traffic to design MAC protocol over residential network. Global-FIFO is quite simple and allows dynamic upstream bandwidth assignment on the basis of a request-and-permit mechanism. It has good bandwidth efficiency and being cell-based, it does not consider the various traffic from home network. In this paper, we design and analyze the new MAC resource assignment algorithm called MQ-FIFO (Multiple Queue-FIFO) that provides good performance under the environment of ATM-PON and Home Network.

According to the recent increase in air traffic a more efficient air traffic flow control is required. This paper proposes the algorithm for efficient air traffic flow control. Aeronautical communication environment is different from the common communication environment since it needs a direct communication between stations (or airplanes) and requires a strict priority for safety message. Moreover, the wide area for basic service causes high propagation delay. In this paper, by using existing CSMA/CA Media Access Control (MAC) protocol, we set the message priorities according to air traffic condition (congestion airport area, approach control area, En route area, and ocean area). This prioritization scheme enables the data transmission with higher access probability. Simulation results confirm that our protocol shows better performance in terms of channel efficiency and success probability compared to exisiting CSMA/CA protocol.

In this paper we propose a traffic aware Demand Wakeup MAC(TADW-MAC) protocol, in which low data delay and high throughput can be achieved, for wireless sensor networks. With the TADW-MAC protocol, the problem of the DW-MAC protocol, which schedules only one packet to deliver during the Sleep period in a multi-hop transmission is resolved. DW-MAC is not adequate for the applications such as object tracking and fire detection, in which busty data should be transmitted in a limited time when an event occurs [6-8]. When an event occurs, duty cycle can be adjusted in the TADW-MAC protocol to get less energy consumption and low latency. The duty cycle mechanism has been widely used to save energy consumption of sensor node due to idle listening in wireless sensor networks. But additional delay in packet transmission may be increased in the mechanism. Our simulation results show that TADW-MAC outperforms RMAC and DW-MAC in terms of energy efficiency while achieving low latency.

RFID technology is applied to port logistics applications since it monitors objects wirelessly without line of sight and constructs ubiquitous system with low cost. Changes of stock status in the warehouse environment make the technology more important for managing such frequent storing and un-storing. Although the RFID has beneficial characteristics of low cost and low complexity, simultaneous responses of RFID tags cause tag identification collision due to absence of elaborate medium access control scheme. Several algorithms have been proposed to overcome the tag collision problem. However, it is difficult to adopt the methods to the logistics systems that has varying loads since there was no consideration on RFID tag's mobility. Therefore, we propose an efficient RFID tag anti-collision protocol, and simulation results demonstrate performance improvement by using the proposed scheme.

In this paper, a traffic adaptive sleep based medium access control (TAS-MAC) protocol for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is proposed. The protocol aims for WSNs which consist of clustered sensor nodes and is based on TDMA-like schema. It is a typical schedule based mechanism which is adopted in previous protocols such as LEACH and Bit-Map Assisted MAC. The proposed MAC, however, considers unexpected long silent period in which sensor nodes have no data input and events do not happen in monitoring environment. With the simple traffic measurement, the TAS-MAC eliminates scheduling phases consuming energy in previous centralized approaches. A frame structure of the protocol includes three periods, investigation (I), transmission (T), and sleep-period (S). Through the I-period, TAS-MAC aggregates current traffic information from each end node and dynamically decide the length of sleep period to avoid energy waste in long silent period. In spite of the energy efficiency of this approach, the delay of data might increase. Thus, we propose an advanced version of TAS-MAC as well, each node in cluster sends one or more data packets to cluster head during the T-period of a frame. Through simulation, the performance in terms of energy consumption and transmission delay is evaluated. By comparing to BMA-MAC, the results indicate the proposed protocol is more energy efficient with tolerable expense in latency, especially in variable traffic situation.
