Currently, the IETF group is working on service differentiation in the Internet. However, in wireless environments such as Ad-hoc networks, where channel conditions are variable and bandwidth is scarce, the Internet differentiated services are suboptimal without lower layers' support. The IEEE 802.11 standard for Wireless LANs is the most widely used WLAN standard today. 1t has a mode of operation that can be used to provide service differentiation, but it has been shown to perform badly. In this paper, we present a new service differentiation scheme for support QoS in the wireless IEEE 802.11, which is based on a multiple queuing system to provide priority of user's flow. We simulate and analyze the performance of our algorithm and compare its performance with the original IEEE 802.11b protocol. Simulation results show that our approach increases overall throughput in the MAC layer.

무선 네트워크의 전송 방식은 유선 네트워크와 다르며, 따라서 유선 네트워크를 기반으로 설계된 인터넷 프로토콜(TCP/IP)은 무선네트워크 환경에서 불안정 하게 작동한다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 유선 인터넷에 맞춰진 전송 프로토콜인 UDP와 TCP를 802.15.4 MAC기반의 ZigBee Protocol 환경에서 사용되는 특성과 AODV 및 확장 프로토콜인 AOMDV를 통해 인터넷에 결합된 네트워크 인터페이스를 가진 노드들의 특성과 관리의 중요함을 확인한다

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.

모바일 애드 혹 네트워크의 제한된 자원과 다양한 토폴로지 변화 때문에 모바일 애드 혹 네트워크를 관리하고 QoS를 보장하기란 매우 어려운 일이다. 또한 현재까지 모바일 애드 혹 네트워크에서 QoS 보장에 대한 관심은 많지만, 그에 대한 연구는 아직까지 미비한 실정이며 주로 MAC 프로토콜과 라우팅 프로토콜에 집중되어 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 차등화 서비스(DiffServ) QoS 모델을 기반으로 하는 정책기반 망 관리 기술과 동적으로 네트워크의 기능을 확장할 수 있는 액티브 네트워크 기술을 이용하여 모바일 애드 혹 네트워크를 효율적으로 관리하고 QoS를 제공할 수 있는 프레임워크를 제안한다.

It is important that using of efficient radio resource because of deficiency spectrum problem, so that related to this problem many researches are have proceeded. To solve this problem, Cognitive Radio(CR) was suggested. The channels are allocated to the secondary users when the primary users don't use the channels, and unfairness of secondary users can be serious problem and channel quality of multichannel can be different due to the different traffic pattern of primary users. In this paper, we propose MAC prtocol both of the user's fairness and channel quality in CR networks. Simulation results show the comparison with CR MAC protocols.

In the evolution from wireless sensor networks(WSNs) to ubiquitous sensor networks(USNs), technologies that can support intensive data-traffic loads, large number of users, improved interoperability, and extreme longevity are required. Therefore, efficient communication time coordination control and low power consumption becomes one of the most important design goals for USN MAC protocols. So far several time division multiplexed (TDM) MAC protocols have been proposed. However, since the pros and cons of existing protocols are not easy to analyze, it becomes a challenging task to design improved TOM MAC protocols. Based on this objective, this paper provides a novel protocol analysis along with a message complexity derivation and comparison of the existing TDM MAC protocols.

Underwater wireless communication systems can be useful for underwater environment observation, catastrophe prevention, ocean resources exploration, ocean organism research, vessel sinking exploration, and so on. However, unlike terrestrial wireless communication, underwater wireless communication should consider factors such as long propagation delay, limited transmission capacity, high bit-error rate due to potential loss in power, ambient noise, man-made noise, multi-path, etc., because of the inherent characteristics of water. Thus, in this paper, we propose a suitable media access control(MAC) protocol that applies a combination of the ALOHA MAC protocol and the CSMA/CA MAC protocol to underwater environment. We further propose a mathematical analysis model to evaluate performance. We also verify performance improvement in the proposed scheme in comparison with existing MAC protocols.

This paper proposes a adaptive medium-access control(MAC) protocol designed for low-power wireless multi-hop sensor networks which is used for connecting physical world and cyber computing space. Wireless multi-hop sensor networks use battery-operated computing and sensing device. We expect sensor networks to be deployed in an ad hoc fashion, with nodes remaining inactive for long time, but becoming suddenly active when specific event is detected. These characteristics of multi-hop sensor networks and applications motivate a MAC that is different from traditional wireless MACs about power conservation scheme, such as IEEE 802.11. Proposed MAC uses a few techniques to reduce energy consumption. Result show that proposed MAC obtains more energy savings.

IEEE 802.11 has become the main technology in wireless network. However, in terms of fairness, arise in its use in ad hoc networks. Two independent emitters nodes can easily monopolize the medium, preventing other nodes to send packets. This paper proposes the modified (m,k)-firm scheme which is based on T-MAC to improve fairness. Also, the proposed scheme uses different TA period according to the number of collision in the node. The simulation result shows that the proposed scheme helps improve the fairness of the DCF.

VANET(Vehicular Ad-hoc Network), standardization of IEEE 802.11p specification is in process. 802.11 MAC protocol grants all nodes equal opportunity to acquire channel without regard to their bit-rates, making it possible for lower bit-rate nodes to occupy communication channel for a fair amount of time thus keeping the higher bit-rate nodes from acquiring connection channel which downward-equalize the overall network performance. Also with the 802.11p MAC protocol, the probability of collision occurring increases as the number of nodes grow. The proposed algorithm is a new MAC protocol that guarantees nodes with acquired channel a firm priority over other nodes for a fixed amount of time with TXOP concept added to 'packet burst' according to the current transmitting speed. This newly designed algorithm allows the construction of wireless network with enhanced network throughput, decreased probability of collisions as well as providing the means to grant each node a fair chance of acquiring connection according to their channel conditions. The algorithm sets the CW's (Contention Window) width wider than the standard's and modulates the continuous transmitting threshold value depending on channel acquired time, thus improving the overall performance of the network.
