Compared with unicast, multicast over wireless ad-hoc networks do not support reliability due to their inability to exchange request-to-send/clear-to-send (RTS/CTS) and ACK packets with multiple recipients. Although several media access control (MAC) layer protocols have been proposed to provide reliable multicast, these introduce additional overhead, which degrades system performance. A novel MAC protocol for reliable wireless multicast is proposed in this paper. By adapting orthogonal frequency division multiple access characteristics in CTS and ACK packets, the protocol achieves reliability over wireless multicast with minimized overhead.

This paper proposes a new efficient MAC(Media Access Control) protocol to establish the ultrasonic communication network for underwater vehicles, which ensures a certain level of maximum throughput regardless of the propagation delay of ultrasonic and allows fast data transmission through the multiple ultrasonic communication channel. A MAC protocol for underwater communication network that allows 'peer-to-peer' communication between a surface ship and multiple underwater systems is designed, and the proposed control protocol is implemented for its verification.

In this paper, we present the performance evaluation of the reliable cooperative media access control (RCO-MAC) protocol, which has been proposed in [1] by us in order to enhance system throughput in bad wireless channel environments. The performance of this protocol is evaluated with computer simulation as well as mathematical analysis in this paper. The system throughput, two types of average delays, average channel access delay, and average system delay, which includes the queuing delay in the buffer, are used as performance metrics. In addition, two different traffic models are used for performance evaluation: The saturated traffic model for computing system throughput and average channel access delay, and the exponential data generation model for calculating average system delay. The numerical results show that the RCO-MAC protocol proposed by us provides over 20% more system throughput than the relay distributed coordination function (rDCF) scheme. The numerical results show that the RCO-MAC protocol provides a slightly higher average channel access delay over a greater number of source nodes than the rDCF. This is because a greater number of source nodes provide more opportunities for cooperative request to send (CRTS) frame collisions and because the value of the related retransmission timer is greater in the RCO-MAC protocol than in the rDCF protocol. The numerical results also confirm that the RCO-MAC protocol provides better average system delay over the whole gamut of the number of source nodes than the rDCF protocol.

Ethernet PON(Passive Optical Network)은 최근 활발하게 연구되고 있는 경제적이고 효율적인 가입자망이다. 차세대 가입자망인 Ethernet PON의 MAC(Media Access Control) 프로토콜은 TDMA(Time Division Multiple Access)방식을 기본으로 하며, QoS(Qualify of Service)를 보장해야 하는 전용회선(Leased Line) 가입자에 적합한 고정 할당 방식과 LAN/MAN의 최선형(Best Effort) 방식에 적합한 동적 할당 방식으로 나눌 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이들 프로토콜의 성능을 분석하기 위하여 OPNET 시뮬레이션 도구를 이용해 Ethernet PON 모델을 설계한다. 설계된 모델에 대한 단대단 Ethernet 지연(end-to-end Ethernet delay), 큐잉 지연(queuing delay), 처리(throughput)과 사용률(utilization) 분석을 통해서 MAC 프로토콜을 검증하고, 하나의 OLT(Optical Line Terminal)가 수용할 수 있는 최적의 ONU(Optical Network Unit) 개수를 산정한다. 또한, 적정한 ONU의 버퍼 크기를 제안하여 Ethernet PON의 망 효율을 극대화하는 방안을 제시한다.

In recent years, the predominant part in telecommunications is mobile communications. The next generation network is extending today's voice-only mobile networks to multi-service networks. ATM Network is possible to carry such multi-media traffic and it will be expect to use wireless ATM for the future mobile access network. One of manly important aspects for the performance of wireless ATM is the Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol. The MAC protocol must be able to satisfyingly handle the different ATM services (CBR, VBR, ABR and UBR) with their radically different performance requirements. Additionally, the MAC protocol must be able to cope with the complex radio environment where fading, multi-path propagation interference and burst-errors further complicate the situation. In this paper, a dynamic slot allocation algorithm in wireless ATM is proposed for an efficient channel sharing/media access at the MAC layer. We use equivalent capacity in the allocation of slots for VBR traffic which is variable along the time. It is simple and effective slot allocation method for VBR service. In particular, we consider the slot allocation of a session consisted of several connections for requirement of multimedia traffic. Simulation shows that the cell loss ratio is reduced by re-allocation of extra slots in Mobile Terminal (MT).

Multicast data communication is an efficient communication scheme, especially inmulti-hop ad hoc networks where the media access control (MAC) layer is based on one-hop broadcast from one source to multiple receivers. Compared to unicast, multicast over a wireless channel should be able to deal with varying channel conditions of multiple users and user mobility to provide good quality to all users. IEEE 802.11 does not support reliable multicast owing to its inability to exchange request-to-send/clear-to-send and acknowledgement packets with multiple recipients. Thus, several MAC layer protocols have been proposed to provide reliable multicast. However, additional overhead is introduced, as a result, which degrades the system performance. In this paper, we propose an efficient wireless multicast MAC protocol with small control overhead required for reliable multicast in multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks. We present analytical formulations of the system throughput and delay associated with the overhead.

본 논문에서는 다중 채널 환경의 무선 센서 네트워크에서 에너지 소모를 최소화하고 데이터 수율(Throughput)을 증대시키기 위한 비동기 방식의 맥 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안하는 맥 프로토콜인 SPMC-MAC(Slim Preamble Multi Channel Media Access Control)은 [6]에서 제안했던 수신 노드가 깨어날 시간 정보의 이점을 이용하여 프리앰블의 길이를 줄이는 매커니즘을 채택한다. 프리앰블은 수신 노드의 ID와 랜덤하게 선택된 채널을 포함하여 전용의 기본 채널을 통해서 전송된다. 전송 세기 제어는 통신 가능 범위 내에서 적정 노드 수를 유지함으로써 데이터 전송 시 충돌과 간섭을 줄일 수 있다. 수학적 분석과 모의실험을 통해 에너지 소모와 수율에 대해 제안하는 SPMC-MAC과 X-MAC을 비교한다.

This dissertation suggests and implements a middle level network which is called PICNET-NP (Plant Implementation and Control Network for Nuclear Power Plant). PICNET-NP is based partly on IEEE 802.4 token-passing bus access method and partly on IEEE 802.3 physical layer. For this purpose a new interface a physical layer service translator, is introduced. A control network using this method is implemented and applied to a distributed real-time system. To verify the performance of proposed protocol experimental were carried out, and the following results are obtained. 1) proper initialization of the protocol. 2) normal receiving and transmission of data. 3) proper switching of transmission media in case of a fault condition on the one of transmission media. The proposed protocol exhibits the excellent performance in the experimental system. From the test results in the experimental system, the proposed protocol, PICNET-NP, can be used for the upgrading of a nuclear power plant and the distributed control system in the next generation of nuclear power plant.
