The next generation of wireless network will be problably developed as a mobile communications which will support ATM-based multiMedium traffic. We need to develop an dffective MAC protocol in order to support multimedia traffic having variety of QoS characteristics on wireless neteworks. In this paper, we propose a MAC protocol a MAC protocol where mobile terminals having cells to transmit, request slots to base station through requested slot then the base station analyze parameters from mobile and allocate slots to mobile according to priority. The multimedia slot allocation(MSA) protocol divides multimedias applications into real-time/ variant and non real-time services. Entire slots of the frameare partitioned proportionallyby sizeof bandwidth according to types of services, so that related services can use allocated-slots in priority. The proposed algorithm guarantees real time operation since real-time service share slots allocated for non real-real services. The algorithm whih divides slots of the frame is called as an Algorithm A, otherwise as an Algorithm B. The simulation compares by average delay time and cell loss probability between Algorithm and Algorithm B by increasing number of mobile terminal using the proposed MAC protocol. the simulation result for real-time services shows that average delay time and cell loss probability of Algorithm A is better than those of Algorithm B.

고정된 duty-cycle을 갖는 S-MAC 프로토콜은 노드 A에서 B로 메시지를 전송 후, 노드 C는 에너지 효율을 위해 스케줄 된 수면구간 상태이다. 따라서 노드 C는 노드 B로부터의 메시지를 수신 할 수가 없게 된다. 따라서 지연(delay)이 발생하게 된다. 반면 제안하는 프로토콜은 평상시에 Bit정보가 00으로 설정되어 있어, 에너지 효율에 중점을 둔 S-MAC과 비슷한 동작을 하다가 설정한 설정치를 넘길 때마다 Bit정보에 변화를 주어 전송해야 할 메시지의 우선순위가 높다고 판단하여 프레임크기와 활성구간의 크기에 변화를 주어 지연시간을 줄이게 된다. 사용자 입장에서 우선순위가 높은 메시지라 함은 예를 들어 불이 발생 했을 경우 노드에서 감지되는 높은 온도 값이 이에 해당되고 반면 우선순위가 낮은 메시지는 노드에서 감지되는 낮은 온도 값이 이에 해당된다. 사용자 입장에서 감시해야 할 온도, 압력, 수위와 같은 환경변수에 설정치를 설정하여 상황에 따라 지연시간과 에너지 소모를 선택적으로 유연하게 조절하여 지연시간을 개선시키는 MAC 프로토콜을 제안한다.

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), most energy saving asynchronous MAC protocols are custom tailored for unicast communications only. However, broadcast protocols are very commonly used in WSNs for a variety of functionalities, such as gathering network topology information, event monitoring and query processing. In this paper, we propose a novel low-power asynchronous broadcast MAC protocol called Alarm Broadcast (A-CAST). A-CAST employs the strobe preamble that specifies the residual waiting time for the following data transmission. Each receiver goes back to sleep upon hearing the strobe preamble for the residual time duration, to conserve energy and to wake up just before data transmission starts. We compute the energy consumption of A-CAST via rigorous mathematical analysis. The analytic results show that A-CAST outperforms B-CAST, a simple broadcast extension of the well-known B-MAC. We also implement A-CAST on sensor motes and evaluated its performance through real experiments. Our experimental results show that A-CAST reduces the energy consumption by up to 222% compared to the previously proposed protocols.

This paper introduces reliable multicast MAC protocol for cooperative unmanned vehicles. cooperative unmanned vehicles communicate with infrastructure and other unmanned vehicles in order to increase driving safety. They exchange information related to driving and thus it requires real-time and reliable multicast. However, the international vehicular communication standard, IEEE 802.11p WAVE, does not provide a reliable multicast scheme on the MAC layer. To address the problems of reliability, we propose a reliable multicast protocol called WiVCL, which avoids contention and collision. Our evaluation shows that the WiVCL achieves a high degree of reliability and real-time features.

Bovine mammary epithelial (MAC-T) cells are commonly used to study mammary gland development and mastitis. Lipopolysaccharide is a major bacterial cell membrane component that can induce inflammation. Autophagy is an important regulatory mechanism participating in the elimination of invading pathogens. In this study, we evaluated the mechanism underlying bacterial mastitis and mammary cell death following lipopolysaccharide treatment. After 24 h of 50 ㎍/mL lipopolysaccharide treatment, a significant decrease in the proliferation rate of MAC-T cells was observed. However, no changes were observed upon treatment of MAC-T cells with 10 ㎍/mL of lipopolysaccharide for up to 48 h. Thus, upon lipopolysaccharide treatment, MAC-T cells exhibit dose-dependent effects of growth inhibition at 10 ㎍/mL and death at 50 ㎍/mL. Treatment of MAC-T cells with 50 ㎍/mL lipopolysaccharide also induced the expression of autophagy-related genes ATG3, ATG5, ATG10, ATG12, MAP1LC3B, GABARAP-L2, and BECN1. The autophagy-related LC3A/B protein was also expressed in a dose-dependent manner upon lipopolysaccharide treatment. Based on these results, we suggest that a high dose of bacterial infection induces mammary epithelial cell death related to autophagy signals.

In this paper, we investigate the parameters of the IEEE 802.11e MAC protocol, CWmin and AIFS, in terms of their capability of QoS control. The delay and the bandwidth performances are selected as the QoS medics to examine the characteristics of those parameters. A policy on MAC parameters usage, thereby, is proposed. We regard the MAC-level traffic classification as the differentiation in the channel accessibility, and thus the delay differentiation is referred to a main issue of the class-level QoS control. Realizing the tight relationship between the delay performance and the parameter AIFS, we derive an analytical expression of their relationship through an analysis of the MAC mechanism. Various simulations are examined which show the validity of our assertions, and a policy on the parameters usage is proposed based on those observations.

The distributed coordination function (DCF) and point coordination function (PCF) protocols are the basic MAC protocols for legacy IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11e, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n wireless LANs. When the DCF protocol is used for the various versions of IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs, the MAC performance seriously degrades due to the collisions among the stations (STAs) as more and more STAs attempt to transmit their data frames. On the other hand, the PCF MAC performance becomes poor when many STAs exist in IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs, however, only small number of STAs actually attempt to transmit their data frames. In this paper, we propose the algorithm for improving the MAC performance by selectively using the DCF and PCF protocols according to the state of IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs. Numerical examples are presented to show the MAC performance improvement by the selective use of the DCF and PCF protocols according to the network state.

Neutron and gamma-ray shielding properties of Inconel 718 reinforced B₄C (0-25 wt%) were investigated using PSD software. Mean free path (MFP), linear and mass attenuation coefficients (LAC,MAC), tenth-value and half-value layers (TVL,HVL), effective atomic number (Z_eff), exposure buildup factors (EBF), and fast neutron removal cross-sections (FNRC) values were calculated for 0.015-15 MeV. It was found that MAC and LAC increased with the decrease in the content of B₄C compound by weight in Inconel 718. The EBFs were computed using G-P fitting method for 0.015-15 MeV up to the penetration depth of 40 mfp. HVL, TVL, and FNRC values were found to range between 0.018 cm and 3.6 cm, between 2.46 cm and 12.087 cm, and between 0.159 cm^-1 and 0.194 cm^-1, respectively. While Inconel 718 provides the maximum photon shielding property since it offered the highest values of MAC and Z_eff and the lowest value of HVL, Inconel 718 with B₄C(25 wt%) was observed to provide the best shielding material for neutron since it offered the highest FNRC value. The study is original in terms of several aspects; moreover, the results of the study may be used in nuclear technology, as well as other technologies including nano and space technologies.

현재 무선 랜 기반의 WMN은 도심지와 같은 통화량이 많은 지역('핫존')에서 서비스 되고 있다. 다수 핫존을 서비스하는 엑세스 포인트(AP)별로 인터넷 망에 유선 접속할 경우, 망 접속 비용이 높지만, WMN 기술을 이용하면 핫존별로 산재한 트래픽의 집중을 통해 자원을 대폭 줄일 수 있다. 또한, IEEE 802.11 표준은 가용한 채널이 다양한 직교주파수로 되어있어 IEEE 802.11b에서는 2.4GHz에서 간섭 없는 3개의 채널을 제공하고 IEEE 802.11a는 5GHz에서 간섭 없는 12개의 채널을 제공한다. 근접한 access point (AP)주변에는 다른 채널을 할당함으로써 근접한 AP사이에서의 간섭을 막을 수 있다. IEEE 802.11 표준은 동시 사용에 1개의 채널만 사용하게 되어있어 가용한 채널을 동시에 간섭 없이 사용함으로써 전체적인 throuput을 증대 시킬 수 있어 IEEE 802.11 표준 기반의 MAC 프로토콜의 수정만으로 상, 하 레이어의 수정 없이 향상된 멀티채널을 위한 MAC 프로토콜을 제시한다.
