이동 애드 혹 망을 구성하는 노드들은 일반적으로 배터리 전력을 사용하기 때문에 이들의 에너지 소모량을 줄이는 연구들이 각 계층에 대해 이루어져 왔다. 몇몇 연구들은 매체 접근 제어 프로토콜로 많이 이용되는 IEEE 802.11 DCF의 전력 소비량을 줄이기 위한 전력 제어 기법을 제시하였다. 기본 전력 제어기법(BASIC Power Control Protocol)은 RTS-CTS와 DATA-ACK 에 대해서 각각 다른 전력을 적용하는 것이다. RTS-CTS는 최대 전력으로 전송되고, DATA-ACK는 불필요한 에너지 낭비를 줄이기 위해 최소한 의 필요한 전력으로 전송하였다. 그러므로 DATA-ACK의 전송범위(transmission range)와 전송파 감지영역(carrier sensing range)은 RTS-CTS의 영역보다 작아진다. 전송파 감지영역에서 RTS-CTS를 감지한 노드들은 신호를 올바로 해석할 수 없으므로 NAV 값을 EIFS로 설정한다. 이 EIFS 구간은 충돌을 막기에는 너무나 짧기 때문에. EIFS 구간이 지난 후에 채널이 비어있는 상태로 간주하고 전송을 시도하게 된다. 이에 따라 DATA-ACK 수신에 있어서 충돌율이 증가하게 되고 네트웍 전체 처리량이 감소하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 기본 전력제어 기법이 가지는 문제점을 해결하고 전체 네트웍 처리량을 향상 시킬수 있는 새로운 전력제어(Power Control) MAC 프로토콜을 제안하였다.

The long propagation delay over satellite internet causes degradation of TCP performance in slow start phase. Especially, web traffic performance is greatly reduced by low throughput in slow start phase. To improve web traffic performance, we propose the Dynamic ACK Generation Scheme which generates ACKs and considers sender RTO in PEP (Performance Enhancing Proxy). The Normal ACK generation mechanism improves TCP throughput, and also decreases sender RTO. if PEP stops generating ACKs, TCP performance will be reduced by frequent RTO expiration. To solve this problem, our scheme adjusts RTO using ACK generation interval. And it supports retransmission mechanism for loss recovery in PEP. The results of the performance analysis provide a good evidence to demonstrate the efficiency of our mechanisms over satellite internet.

With the advent of the ubiquitous technology age, the progress of network technology has enabled a robust sensor communication, not just in cities, but also in poor surroundings such as deserts, polar regions, or underwater environments. In this paper, we propose a Multiple Acknowledgement (MA) technique to replace the conventional Automatic Repeat request (ARQ) technique. The MA mechanism is to send an Ack to many receivers simultaneously. The CH (master, coordinator) of the unit cluster broadcasts a Beacon frame where Ack information of the previously transmitted data is included. This technique can reduce the number of transmissions and overhead significantly. The proposed technique is a scheme improving the efficiency of an underwater sensor network where the uplink data transmission is the mainstream. The Performance of the ARQ, Block Ack, Pervasive Block Ack and the proposed method were compared with one another and analyzed. The proposed method showed significant performance improvement as compared with the ARQ, BA, and PBA in its channel efficiency.

IEEE 802.15.4 프로토콜은 구현이 용이하여 다양한 응용 네트워크에서 사용되고 있다. 하지만 대용량 데이터 전송시 백오프(back-off), CCA(Clear Channel Assesment), IFS(Inter Frame Space), ACK 시간 등이 MAC 계층에서 오버헤드로 작용하여 네트워크 성능 저하의 요인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.11e 프로토콜에서 사용되고 있는 블록(block) ACK 기법을 분석하고 이를 802.15.4 네트워크에 적용할 것을 제안하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통한 성능 분석을 실시하고 제안한 기법이 802.15.4에서도 네트워크 처리량을 크게 향상 시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

무선망에서 패킷 손실은 데이터 패킷 손실이 뿐만 아니라 ACK 패킷 손실도 있다. 그러나 현재 무선망에서는 패킷이 손실되었을 경우 데이터 패킷 손실로 간주하여 데이터 패킷을 재전송한다. 이때 유무선 혼합망에서 이러한 재전송은 유선망의 혼잡제어 메커니즘을 호출하여 전체 네트워크 성능을 저하할 뿐만 아니라 무선망에 불필요한 재전송이 발생하게 하여 무선망에 채널 경쟁 심하게 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Snoop을 이용하여 무선망에서 데이터 패킷 손실시 지역 재전송 메커니즘을 이용하여 빠른 복구한다. 그러나 패킷 손실시 ACK 패킷 손실일 경우에는 Snoop에서 불필요하게 데이터 패킷을 재전송하지 못하게 네트워크 성능을 향상하였다.

This paper introduces a new split-TCP approach for improving TCP performance over IEEE 802.11-based wireless LANs. TCP over wireless LANs differently from wired networks is not aggressive, which is a fundamental reason for poor performance. Therefore, we propose TAS (TCP-Aware Sub-layer) to migigate this problem. Our scheme extends the split-connection approach that divides a connection into two different connections at a split point such as an access point (AP). Using TAS, a wireless node emulates TCP ACK packets using MAC ACK frames, instead of receiving real TCP ACK packets. We compared TAS with both normal TCP and I-TCP (Indirect TCP) by NS2 simulation. Results show that TAS achieves higher throughput, more fair resource allocation and, in power-saving mode, shorter delays.

In this paper, we propose a new reliable multicast MAC protocol over the IEEE 802.11-based tactical ad hoc networks. The major contribution compared to the previous reliable multicast schemes using consecutive CTSs/ACKs is that the proposed scheme can send multiple CTS/ACK messages concurrently assisted by MC-DS/CDMA mechanisms. When multiple receivers receive the RTS/DATA message from a sender, they respond with the CTS/ACK message spread with pre-assigned code in the same time interval. The proposed scheme can reduce the overhead of multiple CTSs/ACKs. It is also possible to alleviate the received signal strength at the enemy detector and thus it improves low probability of detection performance. Through simulations and analysis, the proposed scheme outperforms that of the multiple CTSs/ACks in terms of the throughput, transmission delay and low probability of detection.

In Wireless Sensor Networks, IEEE 802.11 happen unnecessary energy consume because of packet transmission using maximum power between sensor node. The BASIC scheme is to use maximum transmission power for RTS-CTS and minimum required transmission power so as to high energy efficiency for DATA-ACK. However BASIC scheme may degrade network throughput with collision of ACK packet by node in carrier sensing zone and may result in higher energy consumption than when using IEEE 802.11 without power control. Existing PCM(Power Control MAC) scheme is to use DATA packet transmission method by periodically maximum power level so as to sensing DATA packet transmit in carrier sensing zone of transmission node, and this method can avoid collision of ACK packet. This paper present problem by energy efficiency of PCM scheme, and design some more improved PCM scheme.

In this paper, we propose a novel MAC protocol based on the harmonic transmission of ACK, called HAT-LoRa, for improving the reliability and the utilization in multiple gateway LoRa Networks. LoRa is basically vulnerable to collision due to the primitive pure ALOHA-like MAC. Whereas data frame delivery can be guaranteed by the transparent bridge of multiple receiving gateways, ACK is still transmitted by a single gateway in LoRa Network. HAT-LoRa provides the augmented reception opportunity of ACK via the simultaneous transmissions of identical ACK in multiple spreading factors. The proposed method reduces the expected transmission times of ACK double gateway environment as well as single gateway environment, by 55 and 60% in maximum, by 35% and 40% in average, in a single- and double-gateway environment, respectively. Especially, it outperforms under the environment where the distance between end device and gateways are similar to each other.
