Wireless sensor networks consist of sensor nodes which are expected to be battery-powered and hard to replace or recharge. Thus, reducing the energy consumption of sensor nodes is an important design consideration in wireless sensor networks. For the implementation of energy-efficient MAC protocol, Sensor-MAC based on IEEE 802.11 protocol. In this paper, which has energy efficient scheduling, was proposed. In this paper, we propose Dynamic S-MAC that is dynamically operated by network-traffic states. Dynamic S-MAC protocol improves energy consumption of S-MAC due to change the frame length according to network-traffic states. Using NS-2 Simulation, we compare the performance of Dynamic S-MAC with S-MAC protocol.

Wireless LAN is a rather mature communication technology connecting mobile terminals. IEEE 802.11 is a representative protocol among Wireless LAN technologies. The basic medium access control (MAC) mechanism of IEEE 802.11 is called distnbuted coordination function (DCF). DCF shows poor throughput and high drop rate as the number of stations and offered traffic load increase. In this paper we propose an effective mechanism using dynamic mimmum contention window(CWmin) in wireless LAN~ and show that performance improves via simulations. Proposed dynamic CWmin scheme exhibits superior performance as the number of stations and offered load grow. As, our proposed scheme is expected to be more effective in highly densed wireless LAN environment.

In this paper, the WAVE technology for IT based on Intelligent Transport System(ITS) which using by IEEE 802.11a PHY, IEEE 802.11p MAC(Medium Access Control) and IEEE P1609.3 was implemented. The WAVE system was designed that has maximum 0.5km communication range for RSU(Road Side Equipment) between vehicle, 12Mbps transfer speed when downlink at maximum 120km/h vehicle speed. To verify suitableness of the WAVE system for ITS, we measured several parameters on the real road: communication range when low and high speed, link establishment time, data transfer speed, PER (Percent Error Rate), and latency. From the experiment results, we demonstrated that WAVE is a suitable technology for IT based on ITS.

There are two kinds of network architectures in the IEEE 802.11:[1] distributed (ad-hoc) or centralized (infrastructure) wireless network. Centralized networks have an access point (base station) that can control the wireless medium access of stations in these networks. The 802.11 MAC protocol of an access point is the same as those of other stations in the contention period. This paper propose a novel MAC protocol of an access point to solve these problems. This MAC protocol adds a new contention-free period called EPCF (Extended PCF) to resolve accumulated data in the queue of an access point. Simulation results show that the new protocol performs better throughput than the 802.11 standard MAC with the less queue memory site requirement.

In IEEE 802.11n WLANs(Wireless Local Area Networks), to support high throughput, MAC(Media Access Control) layer adopts A-MSDU(Aggregate-MAC Service Data Unit) and A-MPDU(Aggregate-MAC Protocol Data Unit). Generally, as the A-MPDU uses a selective retransmission capability, A-MPDU provides higher throughput than A-MSDU. However, although A-MPDU uses the selective re-transmission capability, if the size of MPDU within A-MPDU is smaller than the size of minimum MPDU starting spacing, A-MPDU can reduce throughput because of the overhead of retransmission owing to the addition of delimiter, that is a dummy MPDU. Therefore, to overcome the above problem, two-level Aggregation method, where the small MPDU within A-MPDU is replaced by not delimiter but A-MSDU, has been introduced. In the two-level Aggregation method, the existing re-transmission scheme retransmits only A-MPDU, but if the size of retransmission data is smaller than the size of the minimum MPDU starting spacing, the proposed retransmission scheme retransmits the aggregated retransmission data and MSDUs. Therefore, we know that the proposed retransmission scheme have better throughput that the existing retransmission scheme.

In the IEEE 802.1 Ib, DCF provides contention based services and PCF provides contention free services for QoS suppof. DCF uses CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/collision Avoidance) as an access protocol. In this paper, an enhanced PCF, which gives weights to channels with heavy traffic load, was proposed. The weight is depending on the partial queue length information from STAs. NS-2 simulation results show that the proposed scheme is an promising approach for enhancing the PCF.

Widespread deployment of infrastructure WLANs has made Wi-Fi an integral part of today's Internet access technology. Despite its crucial role in affecting end-to-end performance, past research has focused on MAC protocol enhancement, analysis, and simulation-based performance evaluation without sufficiently considering a misbehavior stemming from capture effect. It is well known that the capture effect occurs frequently in wireless environment and incurs throughput unfairness between nodes. In this paper, we propose a novel Fair MAC algorithm which achieves fairness even under physically unfair environment. While satisfying the fairness, the proposed algorithm maximizes the system throughput. Extensive simulation results show that the proposed Fair MAC algorithm substantially improves fairness without throughput reduction.

IEEE 802.11 무선 랜 환경에서 멀티미디어 트래픽이 효과적으로 전송퇴기 위해서는 정해진 딜레이 바운드내에서 전송이 완료되어야 한다 대표적인 멀티미디어 트래픽인 음성신호를 전송할 때의 단방향 딜레이 바운드는 echo canceller를 쓰지 않았을 경우 $25ms{\sim}30ms$ 이다. 딜레이 바운드를 지키지 못하고 전송된다면 시간에 민감한 음성신호의 특성 때문에 음성품질이 유지되지 않을 뿐만 아니라 채널의 혼잡을 유발하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 음성의 품질이 보장되는 기준을 95%이상의 패킷이 성공적으로 전달되는 경우로 제한하여 음성의 딜레이 바운드에 관한 분석을 시도하였다. 이를 위해 음성패킷이 drop될 확률을 수학적인 분석을 통해 유도하고 시뮬레이션을 통한 검증을 시도하였다. 시뮬레이션에서는 IEEE 802.11의 두 가지 기본적인 MAC(Multiple Access Control) 프로토콜인 DCF와 PCF를 사용해서 음성신호를 전송할 때 딜레이 바운드를 지키지 못하는 음성 패킷을 사전에 drop 시킴으로써 몇 개의 음성 노드가 손실율 5% 이내 (음성의 품질이 유지되는 한계)를 만족시키는지를 음성신호를 발생시키는 STA 수와 손실율의 관계를 통해 알아보았다.

IEEE 802.11e 무선LAN 매체접근제어(MAC) 통신규약의 분산조정함수(DCF)의 성능은 경쟁노드수가 증가할수록 급격히 떨어진다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 채널의 유휴슬롯시간(Idle Time)을 측정해서 최소 경쟁윈도($CW_{min}$)를 조절하는 방식이 제시되었다. 이러한 방식을 각 부류별로 서비스 품질이 보장되는 IEEE 802.11e 네트워크로 확장하여 성능을 최대화하는 기법을 이 논문에서 다루겠다. 각 부류별로 서비스품질은 유지하면서 네트워크 전체의 성능을 높일 수 있는 최적의 경쟁윈도 크기를 찾아내는 기법을 보이도록 하겠다.
