무선 센서 네트워크에서는 에너지 소모를 최소화 하는 것이 매우 중요한 연구 과제이며, 많은 연구들을 통하여 효율적인 방법들이 제안 되었고, 이 방법들은 대부분 단일 계층 상에서의 최적화에 초점이 맞춰져 있었다. 본 논문에서는 네트워크 계층의 정보를 이용하는 새로운 MAC 프로토콜을 제안한다. 여기서 제안하는 프로토콜은 MAC 계층의 송/수신 단의 비활성화 상태를 최대화 하고 제어 패킷의 수를 최소화 하는 방법으로 클러스터 기반의 경로 탐색 기법을 이용한다.

Ethernet PON(Passive Optical Network)의 핵심 기술 충의 하나인 MAC(Media Access Control) 프로토콜은 ONU(Optical Network Unit)들이 상향으로 트래픽을 전송할 때 공유되어 있는 링크상의 충돌을 방지하고, 효율적인 대역폭을 할당하기 위만 스케줄링 알고리즘을 포함하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 차세대 가입자 망인 Ethernet PON의 성능을 최대화하기 위해, 가입자 망의 특성을 고려만 동적 슬롯 할당 TDHA(Time Division Multiple Access) 방식의 MAC 프로토콜을 제안한단. 이를 검증하기 위하여 OPNET 시뮬레이션 도구를 이용해 Ethernet PON 모델을 설계하고 시뮬레이션 한다.

본 논문에서는 Ad hoc 망에서 오류 발생률에 적응적인 LLC와 MAC 프로토콜은 설계하였다. 이 프로토콜은 무선 링크상에서 수신자의 피드백 정보에 의존한다. LLC 계층에서는 피드백 정보에 따라 적합한 FEC를 선택하여 부호화하고 MAC 계층에서는 이를 뒷받침하기 위해 오류 발생 패킷에 대한 새로운 재전송 메커니즘을 사용한다. 결과적으로 시간에 따라 변화하는 채널 환경에 적응하여 성공적으로 패킷을 전송함으로써 패킷 전달 지연시간을 단축시키고 제한된 채널의 대역폭을 효과적으로 사용한다.

In this paper we proposed a new MAC protocol to improve QoS(Quality of Service) for real-time traffic in wireless Ad Hoc networks. NMAC protocol have a contention period reservation scheme and a priority control scheme to provide fairness of nodes and QoS. Through simulation, the NMAC protocol compared with existing CSMA MAC protocols shows improvement in performance.

In this paper, we propose a MAC(Media Access Control) protocol based on flexible RWT(RTS Waiting Time) for underwater mobile ad-hoc networks with a three-way handshaking mechanism. This protocol can solve a problem of collision between RTS(Request-To-Send) and CTS(Clear-To-Send) packets in existing MACA(Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) protocol. This proposed MAC protocol is also an effective protocol which can apply to underwater mobile ad-hoc networks in a real field by using implementable technologies. We set flexible RTS Waiting Time called RWT, considering various characteristics of underwater environment. It is possible to support variable network size according to node mobility. Finally, we conduct a performance evaluation between proposed MAC protocol and existing MACA based MAC protocol through practical implementation and experiment. As a result, we verify the superiority of our proposed MAC protocol in terms of throughput, packet drop rate, average transmission time, energy consumption and channel utilization.

Unlike a terrestrial wireless sensor network which uses radio waves, UWASN(Underwater Acoustic Sensor Network) relies on acoustic waves. There are lots of ongoing researches for long latency and limited bandwidth of underwater sensor network by using acoustic wave. Packets transferred by node often colide in underwater sensor network due to long latency. To solve this kind of problem, in general, Back-off scheme which is used in wireless network is used. However, fixed Slot-time according to node allocation generates useless time delay, and this lowers network performance. In this thesis, active setting technique of Slot-time is proposed, and applied for already studied MAC protocol. At the conclusion, it was proved that the MAC protocol using the proposed scheme has better performance than existing MAC protocol as a result comparison.

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.

Since wireless sensor networks consist of nodes with the constrained battery, energy efficient MAC operation is one of the important issues. Low duty cycle operation is critical to conserve energy in wireless sensor network MAC protocol. Some paper proposed a new approach to low power listening, which employs a short preamble to further reduce energy consumption and to reduce latency. But short preamble suffers from unfair channel access problem since there was no consideration for contention between transmission nodes. Preamble counting proposes a solution to each of these problems by employing node selection information. Simulation results show that the preamble counting provides an improved energy efficiency and fairness of packet delivery.

The WiMedia Alliance has specified a Distributed Medium Access Control (D-MAC)/WUSB protocol based on UWB for high speed wireless home networks and WPANs. In this paper, we propose a novel SoQ-based cooperative communication protocol adaptive to current UWB link transmission rate and QoS measure. The proposed SoQ-based cooperative communication protocol has compatibility with current WiMedia D-MAC/Wireless USB standard and is executed at each device according to a SoQ-based Relay Node Selection (RNS) criterion.

Wireless Sensor Networks are widely applied for organizing real-time monitoring systems. Unlike general kinds of sensor networks, it is important to preferential send emergency data to the control server when urgent events are occurred. But IEEE 802.15.4 MAC protocol which is generally deployed for wireless sensor network does not support algorithm for urgency data handling. Therefore, we proposed a MAC protocol which consider the priority for the urgency data handling.
