IEEE 802.16 Wireless MAN standard specifies the air interface of fixed point-to-multipoint broadband wireless access systems providing multiple service. Among the service classes supported by the wireless MAN, the BE class is ranked on the lowest position in priority and is usually deployed by multicast and broadcast polling MAC scheme. In provisioning such BE service, the delay performance is influenced by a number of components including restrictions on resource request per SS, the number of request opportunities in upward frame, scheduling requests at BS, and contention resolution method. As candidate components of MAC function for BE service, we propose single and multiple request schemes (for controling the number of requests per SS), exhaustive and limited request schemes (for regulating the amount of grant per request) and FCFS, H-SMF, pure SMF, SS-wise Round Robin, and pure Round Robin (for scheduling requests at BS). Then, we construct MAC schemes by combining the above components and evaluate the delay performance exhibited by each MAC scheme using a simulation method. From numerical results, we investigate the effect of MAC components on average delay and delay variation and observe the dissonance on collision reduction in a resource - limited environment.

WBAN(Wireless Body Area Network)는 인체주변 2-3m 영역에서 의료 및 비의료 디바이스들로 구성된 다양한 환자 모니터링 분야를 지원하기 위한 무선센서네트워크이다. WBAN 환경을 위해서는 저전력 소비, QoS, 듀티사이클등의 요구사항을 만족하고 주파수 대역을 효율적으로 분배하며 트래픽 로드에 강하면서 에너지를 절약하는 MAC(Medium Access Control)이 설계되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 트래픽 로드가 증가할 때를 고려해 에너지에 효율적인 AQ(Adaptive Queuing) MAC 슈퍼프레임 구조를 제안한다. 또한 시뮬레이션 결과 제안하는 AQ(Adaptive Quenuing)MAC를 IEEE 802.15.4 MAC과 비교 하였을 때 전송처리율, 평균MAC 지연율 측면에서 향상된 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 무선 센서 망을 위한 트래픽 적응적 수면시간 기반 매체 접근 제어 (Traffic Adaptive Sleep based Medium Access Control; TAS-MAC) 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안 된 프로토콜은 클러스터를 구성하는 센서노드에 적용되며 TDMA를 기본 방식으로 사용한다. 기존에 제시된 LEACH와 BMA-MAC과 같은 전형적인 스케줄링 방식을 사용하지만 입력 데이터가 없거나 주변으로부터 발생되는 이벤트 발생이 없는 긴 침묵시간을 고려한다. 이를 위하여 간단한 트래픽 측정기법을 사용하며 기존 중앙집중식 MAC에서 수행하는 불필요한 스케줄링 시간을 줄임으로서 에너지 소모를 적게 한다. 제안된 프로토콜의 프레임은 조사(I), 전송(T), 그리고 수면기간(S)로 구성되며 I-기간 동안 필요한 정보를 수집하여 긴 침묵 시간에 대응한 적당한 수면시간을 동적으로 결정한다. 또한 한 노드에서 클러스터 헤드로 전송할 데이터가 하나 이상일 때, T-기간 동안 다중의 데이터 전송이 가능하도록 TAS-MAC 프로토콜을 개선하여 데이터의 평균 전송 지연을 줄인다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 에너지 소비와 전송 지연을 분석하고 기존 방식에 비해 에너지 효율이 향상됨을 보인다. 제안된 방식은 에너지 효율이 증가되면서 지연이 상대적으로 증가하는데 에너지 감소 요구를 만족시키는 방안도 논의한다.

In this paper, we discuss a novel reservation-based, asynchronous MAC protocol called 'Multi-rate Multi-hop MAC Protocol' (MMMP) for multi-hop ad hoc networks that provides QoS guarantees for multimedia traffic. MMMP achieves this by providing service differentiation for multirate real-time traffic (both constant and variable bit rate traffic) and guaranteeing a bounded end-to-end delay for the same while still catering to the throughput requirements of non real time traffic. In addition, it administers bandwidth preservation via a feature called 'Smart Drop' and implements efficient bandwidth usage through a mechanism called 'Release Bandwidth'. Simulation results on the QualNet simulator indicate that MMMP outperforms IEEE 802.11 on all performance metrics and can efficiently handle a large range of traffic intensity. It also outperforms other similar state-of-the-art MAC protocols.

Priority MAC is an important issue in every communication system when we consider differentiated service applications. In this paper, we propose a mechanism to support priority MAC based on multi-parameters for IEEE 802.15.7 visible light communication (VLC). By using three parameters such as number of backoff times (NB), backoff exponent (BE) and contention window (CW), we provide priority for multi-level differentiated service applications. We consider beacon-enabled VLC personal area network (VPAN) mode with slotted version for random access algorithm in this paper. Based on a discrete-time Markov chain, we analyze the performance of proposed mechanism under non-saturation environments. By building a Markov chain model for multi-parameters, this paper presents the throughput and transmission delay time for VLC system. Numerical results show that we can apply three parameters to control the priority for VLC MAC protocol.

NGA에서는 현재의 FTTH가 제공하고 있는 것보다 더 넓은 대역폭, 더 높은 분기율, 더 확장된 거리를 요구하고 있다. FTTH에서 큰 비중을 차지하는 TDMA PON에서는 OLT와 ONU 사이의 거리가 증가하면 전파지연이 증가하고, 전파지연의 3배 이상으로 패킷지연을 증가한다. 왜냐하면, 어떤 패킷이 ONU에 도착하면 대역요청, 승인, 전송이라는 과정을 거치기 때문이다. 이러한 효과를 상쇄하기 위해서는 사이클 타임의 값을 줄여야 하나, 이는 오버헤더 증가와 링크 효율의 감소를 초래한다. 본 논문에서는 NGA에서 목표하는 것과 같이 가입자 망에서 지원하는 거리가 60 Km 또는 100 Km까지 확장될 때 TDMA PON에서 발생할 수 있는 여러 가지 문제점들을 살펴보고, 지연에 민감한 트래픽에 대한 서비스 품질을 만족시켜 주기 위한 최적의 사이클 타임을 결정하는 방법을 제시한다. 그리고 ONU의 위치에 따라 등화왕복지연과 사이클 타임의 값을 가변적으로 할당하는 방법을 소개하며, 이 방법을 사용하면 성능분석에서 지연이 감소는 물론 링크 효율도 증가함을 보여준다.

Ad hoc cognitive radio wireless sensor networks allow secondary wireless sensor nodes to recognize spectrum opportunities and transmit data. Most existing protocols proposed for ad hoc cognitive radio wireless sensor networks require a dedicated common control channel. Allocating one channel just for control packet exchange is a waste of resources for channel-constrained networks. There are very few protocols that do not rely on a common control channel and that exchange channel-negotiation control packets during a pre-allocated time on the data channels. This, however, can require a substantial amount of time to access the channel when an incumbent is present on the channel, where the nodes are intended to negotiate for the data channel. This study examined channel access delay on cognitive radio wireless sensor networks that have no dedicated common control channel.

The release of IEEE 802.15.4e specification significantly develops IEEE 802.15.4. The most inspiring improvement is the enhancement for medium access control (MAC) sublayer. To study the performance of IEEE 802.15.4e MAC, in this paper we first present an overview of IEEE 802.15.4e and introduce three MAC mechanisms in IEEE 802.15.4e. And the major concern here is the Time Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) mode that provides deterministic access and increases network capacity. Then a detailed analytical Markov chain model for TSCH carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA-CA) is presented. Expressions which cover most of the crucial issues in performance analysis such as the packet loss rate, energy consumption, normalized throughput, and average access delay are presented. Finally the performance evaluation for the TSCH mode is given and we make a comprehensive comparison with unslotted CSMA-CA in non-beacon enabled mode of IEEE 802.15.4. It can validate IEEE 802.15.4e network can provide low energy consumption, deterministic access and increase network capacity.

This paper proposes a novel exposed-terminal-eliminated medium access control (ETE-MAC) protocol by combining channel reservation, collision avoidance and concurrent transmissions to improve multi-access performance of the multihop wireless networks. Based on the proposed slot scheduling scheme, each node senses the control channel (CCH) or the data channel (DCH) to accurately determine whether it can send or receive the corresponding packets without collisions. Slot reservation on the CCH can be simultaneously executed with data packet transmissions on the DCH. Therefore, it resolves the hidden-terminal type and the exposed-terminal type problems efficiently, and obtains more spatial reuse of channel resources. Concurrent packet transmissions without extra network overheads are maximized. An analytical model combining Markov model and M/G/1 queuing theory is proposed to analyze its performance. The performance comparison between analysis and simulation shows that the analytical model is highly accurate. Finally, simulation results show that, the proposed protocol obviously outperforms the link-directionality-based dual-channel MAC protocol (DCP) and WiFlex in terms of the network throughput and the average packet delay.

The paper describes SR3 (Synchronous Round Robin with Reservations), a collision-free medium access control protocol for all-optical slotted packet networks based on WDM multi-channel ring topologies where nodes are equipped with one fixed-wavelength receiver and one wavelength-tunable transmitter SR3 is derived from the SRR and MMR protocols previously proposed by the same authors for the same class of all-optical networks. SRR and MMR already achieve an efficient exploitation of the available bandwidth, while guaranteeing a throughput-fair access to each node. SR3, In addition, allows nodes to reserve slots. thereby achieving a stronger control on access delays; it is thus well suited to meet tight delay requirements, as it is the case for multimedia applications. Simulation results show that SR3 provides very good performance to guaranteed qualify traffic, but also brings signigicant performance improvements for best-effort traffic. Energy effciency is an important issue for optical network since they must rely on their batteries. We present a novel MAC protocol that achieves a good energy efficiency of optical interface of the network and provides support for diverse traffic types and QoS. The scheduler of the base station is responsible to provide the required QoS to connections on the optical link and to minimise the amount of energy spend by the High speed Network. The main principles of the MaC protocol are to avoid unsuccessful actions, minimise the number of transitions , and synchronise the mobile and the base-station. We will show that considerable amounts of energy can be saved using these principles.
