최근 광대역 가입자망으로서 HFC 망을 고도화 할 수 있는 DOCSIS 3.0이 표준화되고 있다. DOCSIS 3.0에서는 상향 스트림 프레임에서 경쟁구간의 크기에 따라 프레임의 크기와 예약 구간의 크기에 영향을 받는다. 또한 경쟁구간을 통해 Request를 전송하려는 CM들의 Request 성공률에도 밀접한 관계가 있다. 이 때 다수의 CM들이 경쟁구간을 통해 대역 할당을 요청하기 때문에 발생하는 충돌을 최소화할 수 있는 경쟁구간 설정 알고리즘이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 DOCSIS 3.0에서 사용하는 채널-결합 방식을 고려하여 경쟁구간 설정 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 성능 평가를 통해 기존 알고리즘 보다 경쟁구간의 이용률과 절약율에 있어서 더 좋은 성능을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

The implementation of IEEE 802.15.6 in Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is contention based. Meanwhile, IEEE 802.15.4 MAC provides limited 16 channels in the Superframe structure, making it unfit for N heterogeneous nature of patient's data. Also, the Beacon-enabled Carrier-Sense Multiple Access/Collision-Avoidance (CSMA/CA) scheduling access scheme in WBAN, allocates Contention-free Period (CAP) channels to emergency and non-emergency Biomedical Sensors (BMSs) using contention mechanism, increasing repetition in rounds. This reduces performance of the MAC protocol causing higher data collisions and delay, low data reliability, BMSs packet retransmissions and increased energy consumption. Moreover, it has no traffic differentiation method. This paper proposes a Low-delay Traffic-Aware Medium Access Control (LTA-MAC) protocol to provide sufficient channels with a higher bandwidth, and allocates them individually to non-emergency and emergency data. Also, a Contention Differentiated Adaptive Slot Allocation CSMA-CA (CDASA-CSMA/CA) for scheduling access scheme is proposed to reduce repetition in rounds, and assists in channels allocation to BMSs. Furthermore, an On-demand (OD) slot in the LTA-MAC to resolve the patient's data drops in the CSMA/CA scheme due to exceeding of threshold values in contentions is introduced. Simulation results demonstrate advantages of the proposed schemes over the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC and CSMA/CA scheme in terms of success rate, packet delivery delay, and energy consumption.

LR-WPAN(Low Rate Wireless Personal Area Network)에서 데이터 충돌은 재전송의 원인이 되며 이로 인한 에너지 소비는 전체 네트워크의 수명을 감소시킨다. 또한 LR-WPAN은 상대적으로 적은 backoff 재시도 횟수를 가지고 있기 때문에 충돌에 대해 민감하다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 LCS(Limited Contention Scheme)는 전체 노드를 일정한 수의 그룹으로 나누어 데이터를 전송하는 방식으로써 경쟁을 하는 노드의 수를 줄여 데이터의 충돌 발생 확률과 재전송을 감소시킨다. 그 결과 데이터의 처리율과 전체 네트워크의 수명은 증가하게 된다. 향후 LR-WPAN의 설계 시 LCS를 이용한다면 배터리의 수명은 늘어나게 되어 저전력 소모를 필요로 하는 응용분야에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

To improve the cooperative efficiency of node cooperation and multiple access performance for multihop wireless networks, a priority-differentiated cooperative medium access control protocol with contention resolution (CRP-CMAC) is proposed. In the protocol, the helper selection process is divided into the priority differentiation phase and the contention resolution phase for the helpers with the same priority. A higher priority helper can choose an earlier minislot in the priority differentiation phase to send a busy tone. As a result, the protocol promptly selects all the highest priority helpers. The contention resolution phase of the same priority helpers consists of k round contention resolution procedures. The helpers that had sent the first busy tone and are now sending the longest busy tone can continue to the next round, and then the other helpers that sense the busy tone withdraw from the contention. Therefore, it can select the unique best helper from the highest priority helpers with high probability. A packet piggyback mechanism is also adopted to make the high data rate helper with packet to send transmit its data packets to its recipient without reservation. It can significantly decrease the reservation overhead and effectively improve the cooperation efficiency and channel utilization. Simulation results show that the maximum throughput of CRP-CMAC is 74%, 36.1% and 15% higher than those of the 802.11 DCF, CoopMACA and 2rcMAC protocols in a wireless local area network (WLAN) environment, and 82.6%, 37.6% and 46.3% higher in an ad hoc network environment, respectively.

Design of efficient Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols with both high throughput performances is a major focus in distributed contention-based MAC protocol research. In this paper, we propose an efficient contention-based MAC protocol for wireless Local Area Networks, namely, the Developed Collision Resolution (DCR) algorithm. This algorithm is developed based on the following innovative ideas: to speed up the collision resolution, we actively redistribute the backoff timers for all active nodes; to reduce the average number of idle slots, we use smaller contention window sizes for nodes with successful packet transmissions and reduce the backoff timers exponentially fast when a fixed number of consecutive idle slots are detected. We show that the proposed DCR algorithm provides high throughput performance and low latency in wireless LANs.

In this paper, we recommend some game theoretical schemes try to get reliability transmission and resource allocation of the contention free period in overlapped WBAN(Wireless Body Area Net works) environment. Cooperative bargaining game is considered to guarantee a reliability conflict-free transmission. We study it by considering the priorty of device and the demand number of allocated timeslots in the CFP (Contention Free Period), and guarantee the least requested timeslots through bargaining between each user.

This paper proposes a complete solution of a contention-based medium access control in wireless local networks to provide station level quality of service guarantees in both downstream and upstream directions. The solution, based on the mature distributed coordination function protocol, includes a new fixed contention window backoff scheme, a tuning procedure to derive the optimal parameters, a super mode to mitigate the downstream bottleneck at the access point, and a simple admission control algorithm. The proposed system guarantees that the probability of the delay bound violation is below a predefined threshold. In addition, high channel utilization can be achieved at the same time. The numerical results show that the system has advantages over the traditional binary exponential backoff scheme, including efficiency and easy configuration.

Multi-hop networks are a low-setup-cost solution for enlarging an area of network coverage through multi-hop routing. Carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) is frequently used in multi-hop networks. Multi-hop networks face multiple problems, such as a rise in contention for the medium, and packet loss under heavy-load, saturated conditions, which consumes more bandwidth due to re-transmissions. The number of re-transmissions carried out in a multi-hop network plays a major role in the achievable quality of service (QoS). This paper presents a statistical, analytical model for the end-to-end delay of contention-based medium access control (MAC) strategies. These strategies schedule a packet before performing the back-off contention for both differentiated heterogeneous data and homogeneous data under saturation conditions. The analytical model is an application of Markov chain theory and queuing theory. The M/M/1 model is used to derive access queue waiting times, and an absorbing Markov chain is used to determine the expected number of re-transmissions in a multi-hop scenario. This is then used to calculate the expected end-to-end delay. The prediction by the proposed model is compared to the simulation results, and shows close correlation for the different test cases with different arrival rates.

우선 순위 기반 MAC프로토콜에서 경쟁이 심한 경쟁접근구간은 더 많은 수의 충돌 및 재전송을 초래할 수 있다. 경쟁접근구간 동안 우선순위가 높은 트래픽은 우선순위가 낮은 트래픽을 지배하여 우선 순위가 낮은 트래픽이 고갈되어 WBAN 처리량, 지연 및 에너지 소비에 악영향을 미친다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 우선 순위가 낮은 트래픽에 대한 공정한 기회를 제공하기 위해 경쟁접근구간에서 경쟁을 줄이는 응급데이터-퍼스트-우선 순위 MAC(: EFP-MAC) 슈퍼 프레임 구조를 제안한다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안 된 EFP-MAC이 IEEE 802.15.4 표준에 비해 낮은 에너지 소비, 높은 처리량 및 낮은 대기 시간을 달성함을 보인다.

In this paper, we propose and analyze a new multiple access protocol for a local area optical Internet based on a wavelength division multiplexing technique which uses a passive star coupler. The proposed contention-based reservation protocol can support variable-length as well as fixed-length messages for transporting Internet packets with one reservation of a minislot at the beginning of a packet transmission. The minislot is used to reserve the data channel on the basis of the slotted ALOHA protocol and the control node ensures subsequent message transmission on the same wavelength. Thus, all messages need not be broken down to many fixed-length packets, and consecutive messages are transmitted through the same wavelength. Moreover, the proposed protocol reduces the collision probability of minislots and improves wavelength utilization. We determine the maximum throughput and verify the results with simulation.
