데이터에 차별화된 우선순위를 부여하는 IEEE 802.11e EDCA는 데이터 프레임 전송 이전 스테이션 간에 발생할 수 있는 충돌을 방지할 수 없고 네트워크 환경이 혼잡할 경우에는 오히려 충돌 발생 확률을 높이는 한계가 있었다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 무선 다중 애드 혹 네트워크 환경에서 채널 확보를 위한 RTS/CTS 프레임 전송 시 우선순위를 부여하여 채널을 점유할 단말을 결정하고, 또한 채널형성 후 한 노드 내에서 여러 데이터 전송 시 충돌확률을 줄이는 방법을 제안하였다.

Due to multiple hops, mobility and time-varying channel, supporting delay sensitive real-time traffic in wireless local area network-based (WLAN) mesh networks is a challenging task. In particular for real-time traffic subject to medium access control (MAC) layer control overhead, such as preamble, carrier sense waiting time and the random backoff period, the performance of real-time flows will be degraded greatly. In order to support real-time traffic, an efficient adaptive packet scheduling (APS) scheme is proposed, which aims to improve the system performance by guaranteeing inter-class, intra-class service differentiation and adaptively adjusting the packet length. APS classifies incoming packets by the IEEE 802.11e access class and then queued into a suitable buffer queue. APS employs strict priority service discipline for resource allocation among different service classes to achieve inter-class fairness. By estimating the received signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) per bit and current link condition, APS is able to calculate the optimized packet length with bi-dimensional markov MAC model to improve system performance. To achieve the fairness of intra-class, APS also takes maximum tolerable packet delay, transmission requests, and average allocation transmission into consideration to allocate transmission opportunity to the corresponding traffic. Detailed simulation results and comparison with IEEE 802.11e enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) scheme show that the proposed APS scheme is able to effectively provide inter-class and intra-class differentiate services and improve QoS for real-time traffic in terms of throughput, end-to-end delay, packet loss rate and fairness.

IEEE 802.lie에서 HCCA(Hybrid Coordination Function Controlled Channel Access)는 평균 전송률로 고정된 무선 자원을 예약하기 때문에 MPEG(Moving Picture Experts Group)을 이용한 스트리밍 서비스와 같이 프레임의 크기가 급격히 변화하는 경우 무선 자원을 낭비하는 문제가 발생하고 MAC(Medium Access Control) 계층의 전송 지연이 증가하는 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 HCCA에서는 가변하는 패킷의 크기에 적응적으로 자원을 할당하는 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 그러나 가변적으로 자원을 할당하는 패킷 스케줄러는 요구자원이 달라지기 때문에 가용한 자원을 계산하기 어려워 승인제어를 수행하기 어려워진다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 EDCA(Enhanced Distributed Channel Access)를 사용할 경우 트래픽 증가에 의해 QoS(Quality of Service)를 만족시키지 못하는 문제를 해결하기 위한 CAC(Connection Admission Control) 기술을 제안한다. 제안하는 CAC 기술은 응용계층에서 발생하는 트래픽 정보와 무선 채널 환경을 고려하여 EB(Effective Bandwidth)를 계산하며 이를 통하여 승인제어를 수행한다. 시뮬레이션 결과 제안하는 CAC 기술은 스트리밍 서비스의 지연 한계를 만족하는 망 부하 이내에서 승인제어를 효과적으로 수행하여 스트리밍 서비스의 QoS를 만족하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Wireless LAN Voice over IP(VoIP) equipment needs Quality-of-Service(QoS) with priority for processing real-time traffic. This paper shows transmit function implementation of wireless LAN(WLANs) media access control(MAC) support VoIP, and it has an advantage of guarantee of QoS and is adaptable to VoIP or mobile wireless equipment. The IEEE 802.11e standard in progress has four queues according to four access categories(AC) for transmit and the MAC transmits the data based on EDCA. The value of AC is from AC0 to AC3 and AC3 has the highest priority. The transmit method implemented at this paper ensure QoS using one transmit FIFO in hardware since real-time traffic data and non real-time traffic data has the different priority. The device driver classifies real-time data and non real-time data and transmit data to hardware with information about data type. The hardware conducts shorter backoff and selects faster AIFS slot for real-time data than it for non real-time data. Therefor It make give the real-time traffic data faster channel access chance than non real-time data and enhances QoS.

In this paper, we propose a group distributed dynamic address assignment scheme suitable for tactical mobile ad hoc networks(MANET). Efficient address assignment is an important issue in the MANET because a node may frequently leave the current network and join another network owing to the mobility of the node. The conventional schemes do not consider the features of the tactical networks: existence of a leader node and network activity on a group basis. Thus, they may not be suitable for military operations. In our proposed scheme, called grouped units dynamic address assignment protocol(G-DAAP), a leader node maintains the address information for the members in the network and any of the nodes can exploit the information for the assignment or request of the IP address by a simple message exchange procedure. This leads to fast address assignment with small overheads. In addition, G-DAAP based on the modified IEEE 802.11e Enhanced Distributed Channel Access(EDCA) can assign addresses more quickly. We describe the delay performance of the G-DAAP and compare it with conventional schemes by numerical analysis and computer simulations. The results show that the G-DAAP significantly improves the delay performance as compared with the conventional schemes.

IEEE 802.11e standardized the EDCA mechanism to support the priority based QoS. And the virtual collision handler schedules the transmission time of each MAC frame using the internal back-off window according to the access category(AC). This can provides the differentiated QoS to real-time services at the medium traffic load condition. However, the transmission delay of MAC frame for real-time services may be increased as the traffic load of best effort service increases. It becomes more critical when the real-time service uses a compressed mode video codec such as moving picture experts group(MPEG) 4 codec. That is because each frame has the different importance. That is, the I-frame has more information as compared with the P- and the B-frame. In this paper, we proposed a buffer management algorithm based on the frame importance and the delay bound. The proposed algorithm is consisted of the traffic regulator based on the dual token bucket algorithm and the active queue management algorithm. The traffic regulator reduces the transmission rate of lower AC until that the virtual collision handler can transmit an I-frame. And the active queue management discards frame based on the importance of each frame and the delay bound of head of line(HoL) frame when the channel resource is insufficient.
