In this paper, an efficient technique for enhancing the QoS of multimedia service for an WiMedia network applying distributed cooperative medium access (D-MAC) protocol is proposed. D-MAC protocol has been proposed to support high-rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (HR-WPANs) by the WiMedia Alliance. Unlike the centralized IEEE 802.15.3 MAC, the D-MAC UWB specified by WiMedia supports all devices to be self-organized and removes the SOP (Simultaneous Operating Piconet) problem, i.e., packet collisions between overlapped piconets in the centralized IEEE 802.15.3 MAC. However the WiMedia D-MAC can't prevent reduce the throughput degradation occurred by mobile nodes with low data rate. Therefore, a distributed cooperative MAC protocol for multi-hop UWB network is proposed in this paper. The proposed technique can intelligently select the transmission path with higher data rate to provide real-time multimedia services with minimum delay, thus enhances QoS of multimedia service.

최근 인터넷을 대상으로 한 사이버 공격의 공격 경향은 분산 환경에서 다수 공격자의 대규모 분산 서비스 거부 공격(DoS)의 출현 및 해외 해커들의 국내 전산망을 우회 루트로 활용한 사례의 증가 등 고도화된 불법 행위가 점차 범죄의 강력한 수단으로 이용되는 추세에 있다. 본 논문은 기존 네트워크에서 해당 네트워크의 침입자의 트래픽 차단 방법의 취약점을 보완하여 2-MAC 인증 패킷을 이용한 효율적인 공격자 추적기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방식은 기존 시스템에서의 NIC(Network Interface Card)의 물리적 주소인 MAC(Media Access Control)과 메시지 인증코드(MAC： Message Authentication Code)를 이용한 방식을 제안하였다.

본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.11 규격을 기반으로 다중 홉 Ad Hoc 모드에서 비 실시간 및 실시간 트래픽에 대한 통합 서비스를 지원하는 Wireless LAN을 구성할 때, 분산 방식으로 실시간 서비스의 우선권을 고려한 채널 액세스의 차별화를 제공할 수 있는 매체접근제어(Medium Access Control: MAC) 프로토콜의 구현 방안을 제안한다. 이를 위해 실시간과 비 실시간 트래픽의 Contention Window (CW)를 서로 분리하며, 실시간 서비스의 지연 바운드에 따라 정해진 잔여 수명(residual time)을 우선권 설정에 반영함으로써 실시간 트래픽의 지연 요구 사항을 보장할 수 있도록 한다. 또한 실시간 트래픽의 부하에 따라서 적응적으로 offset 값을 조정함으로써 offset에 의해 발생될 수 있는 수율의 저하를 최소화한다. 제안된 방식은 기존 IEEE 802.11 MAC 규격의DCF (Distributed Coordination function) 방식을 그대로 사용하면서 CSMA/CA 기반의 경쟁 방식을 통해서도 비 실시간 트래픽과의 차별화가 가능하고, 또한 잔여 수명 시간을 고려한 동적인 우선권 할당이 가능하도록 하였다. 시뮬레이션에 의한 분석 결과에 따르면 기존 DCF와 비교할 때 실시간 단말의 용량을 2배까지 향상시킬 수 있으며, 트래픽 부하에 따라 적응적 제어를 통해 추가적인 성능 개선 효과를 확인하였다.

The WiMedia Alliance has specified a Distributed Medium Access Control (D-MAC) protocol based on UWB for high speed wireless home networks and WPANs. In this paper, we propose a novel cooperative communication protocol adaptive to current UWB link transmission rate. The proposed cooperative communication protocol has compatibility with current WiMedia D-MAC and Wireless USB standard and is executed at each device according to a Relay Node Selection (RNS) criterion.

We present the implementation of MAC system for MBOA UWB SoC. The implemented MBOA MAC algorithm is not master control mechanism, but distributed network mechanism. Therefore, mesh network can be easily constructed because MAC consists of distributed network and administrates network. The ARM926EJ with cache is adopted for high performnace and AMBA bus is applied for system design and reuse. In addition, the system operating clock management algorithm is implemented for low power consumption. The dedicated DMA for MAC is designed between the system memory buffer and MAC hardware, and the dedicated DMA for USB 2.0 is also implemented between system memory buffer and host for high data transaction.

The WiMedia Alliance has specified a Distributed Medium Access Control (D-MAC) protocol based on UWB for high speed wireless home networks and Wireless USB. In this paper, firstly, the fair SoQ-based Distributed Reservation Protocol (DRP) for D-MAC is analyzed. And a novel SoQ-based relay transmission protocol is proposed to overcome DRP conflicts fast. In the proposed protocol, each device executes the Satisfaction of QoS (SoQ) time slot allocation algorithm independently. And, in order to give the loser device due to DRP conflicts another chance to maintain QoS resources, the proposed relay transmission protocol helps the device reserve another indirect link maintaining the required QoS resources via a relay node.

We define the incomplete medium sharing system as a multi-channel shared medium communication system where any types of constraints are imposed to the set of channels that may be allocated to any transmitter-receiver node pair. A set of distributed MAC schemes are proposed, all of which are based on the CSMA/CA scheme employed in IEEE 802. 11 WLAN standards. Distributed MAC schemes are proposed in three different forms, which can be differentiated by the number and the location of back-off timers; that is, (1) one timer for all queues destined for different receiver nodes, (2) multiple timers at individual transmission queues, (3) multiple timers for individual channels. Through an extensive set of computer simulations, the performances of the proposed MAC schemes show that the MAC scheme with timers at individual transmission queues outperform the others in terms of throughput and delay for most cases considered. The complexity of the proposed schemes is also compared, and the first scheme obviously turned out to be the simplest, and the complexity of the second and third schemes depends on the number of receiver nodes and the number of channels, respectively.

Wireless sensor network technology is a rapidly growing technology of ubiquitous computing environment and application and research are being carried out in various fields. The sensor nodes constituting the wireless sensor network maintain the life cycle by using the battery in the distributed network environment, so energy efficiency is more important than QoS requirement. In MAC protocol of IEEE802.15.4, MAC protocol study adaptive to traffic and standardization work emphasizing reliability and efficiency in wireless sensor network environment are underway. but, Wireless sensor networks have the problem that the response speed of the sensor node drops as the energy efficiency decreases. In this paper, we designed the MAC protocol with improved energy efficiency of the whole network by analyzing the MAC protocol of the synchronous method and the hybrid method.
