HFC(Hybrid Fiber Coax)기반으로 한 CATV망에서 양방향을 제공하기 위해서는 매체접근제어(Medium Access Control)프로토콜이 필요하다. 특히, 가입자에서 헤드앤드로 데이터를 전송하는 상향채널은 500가입자 이상이 공유하기 때문에 충돌이 발생하게 된다. 본 논문은 HFC-CATV망에 적합한 충돌해결알고리즘인 이진 스택 알고리즘의 안정성(stability)을 연구하기 위해 분석 모델을 제안하고 기존 모델과의 시스템 처리율(throughput)을 비교ㆍ분석하였다

The Berkeley-medium access control (B-MAC) is a lightweight, configurable and asynchronous duty cycle medium access control (MAC) protocol in wireless sensor networks. This article presents an analytic modelling of single-hop B-MAC protocol under a Poisson traffic assumption.Our model considers important B-MAC parameters such as the sleep cycle, the two stage backoff mechanism, and the extended preamble. The service delay of an arriving packet and the energy consumption are calculated by an iterative method. The simulation results verify that the proposed analytic model can accurately estimate the performance of single-hop B-MAC with different operating environments.

This paper proposes an X-MAC/BEB protocol that runs a binary exponential backoff (BEB) algorithm on top of an X-MAC protocol to save more energy by reducing collision, especially in densely populated wireless sensor networks (WSNs). X-MAC, a lightweight asynchronous duty cycle medium access control (MAC) protocol, was introduced for spending less energy than its predecessor, B-MAC. One of X-MAC 's conspicuous technique is a mechanism to allow senders to promptly send their data when their receivers wake up. X-MAC, however, has no mechanism to deal with sudden traffic fluctuations that often occur whenever closely located nodes simultaneously diffuse their sense data. To precisely evaluate the impact of the BEB algorithm on X-MAC, this paper builds an analytical model of X-MAC/BEB that integrates the BEB model with the X-MAC model. The analytical and simulation results confirmed that X-MAC/BEB outperformed X-MAC in terms of throughput, delay, and energy consumption, especially in congested WSNs.

In this paper, an SS-RRA protocol that is based on Code Division Multiple Access is proposed and analyzed under the integrated voice and data traffic load. The backward logical channels consist of slotted time division frames with multiple spreading codes per slot. The protocol uses a reservation mechanism for the voice traffic, and a random access scheme for the data traffic. A discrete-time, discrete-state Markov chain is used to evaluate the performance. The numerical results show that the performance can be significantly improved by a few distinct spreading codes.

In this paper, we introduced our designed TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) based MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol for Home Networks called HomeTDMA. We have implemented and tested it in a test bed using crossbow motes and TinyOS. We also have compared HomeTDMA and CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access) in terms of space and time complexity, channel access time, delivery success ratio, and throughput. Based on our results, HomeTDMA has an advantage over CSMA on channel access time, throughput and delivery success ratioIn the case of complexity, HomeTDMA is more complex compared to CSMA. Thus, CSMA is more appropriate in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) where memory, energy, and throughput are important parameters to be considered. However, HomeTDMA has a natural advantage of collision free medium access and is very promising for home networks where a reliable transmission or data transfer and congestion control is highly preferred.

무선 센서망은 망의 사용목적에 따라 빛, 온도, 진동, 자기 영역, 바람 등을 감지 할 수 있는 센서와 컴퓨팅 기술로 통합된다. 무선 노드들은 센서에서 감지된 정보를 처리하는 신호 처리 기술과 측정자에게 정보가 도달하게 하는 통신 제어 기술과, 무선으로 구동되고 배터리를 사용하기 때문에 발생하는 제한적 에너지 관리 기술이 구현된다. 그 중 신뢰성 있는 측정 및 감지를 하고자 한다면 망의 지속시간의 비중이 크기 때문에 효율적인 에너지 관리 기술이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 하드웨어에서의 전원관리가 아닌 OSI 7계층 중 데이터 링크 계층에 해당하는 MAC(Medium Access Control)에서 기존의 무선 MAC 프로토콜인 CSMA/CA(Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance)과 무선 센서 MAC 프로토콜인 ER-MAC(Energy Rate Medium Access Control)에 대해 설명후 각각 프로토콜에 따른 망의 지속시간을 비교하여 효율성을 분석한다.

Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) are introduced as an enabling technology in tele-health for patient monitoring. Designing an efficient Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol is the main challenge in WBANs because of their various applications and strict requirements such as low level of energy consumption, low transmission delay, the wide range of data rates and prioritizing emergency data. In this paper, we propose a new MAC protocol to provide different requirements of WBANs targeted for medical applications. The proposed MAC provides an efficient emergency response mechanism by considering the correlation between medical signals. It also reduces the power consumption of nodes by minimizing contention access, reducing the probability of the collision and using an efficient synchronization algorithm. In addition, the proposed MAC protocol increases the data rate of the nodes by allocating the resources according to the condition of the network. Analytical and simulation results show that the proposed MAC protocol outperforms IEEE 802.15.4 MAC protocol in terms of power consumption level as well as the average response delay. Also, the comparison results of the proposed MAC with IEEE 802.15.6 MAC protocol show a tradeoff between average response delay and medical data rate.

The machine-to-machine (M2M) communication is featured by tremendous number of devices, small data transmission, and large uplink to downlink traffic ratio. The massive access requests generated by M2M devices would result in the current medium access control (MAC) protocol in LTE/LTE-A networks suffering from physical random access channel (PRACH) overload, high signaling overhead, and resource underutilization. As such, fairness should be carefully considered when M2M traffic coexists with human-to-human (H2H) traffic. To tackle these problems, we propose an adaptive Slotted ALOHA (S-ALOHA) and time division multiple access (TDMA) hybrid protocol. In particular, the proposed hybrid protocol divides the reserved uplink resource blocks (RBs) in a transmission cycle into the S-ALOHA part for M2M traffic with small-size packets and the TDMA part for H2H traffic with large-size packets. Adaptive resource allocation and access class barring (ACB) are exploited and optimized to maximize the channel utility with fairness constraint. Moreover, an upper performance bound for the proposed hybrid protocol is provided by performing the system equilibrium analysis. Simulation results demonstrate that, compared with pure S-ALOHA and pure TDMA protocol under a target fairness constraint of 0.9, our proposed hybrid protocol can improve the capacity by at least 9.44% when ${\lambda}_1:{\lambda}_2=1:1$and by at least 20.53% when ${\lambda}_1:{\lambda}_2=10:1$, where ${\lambda}_1,{\lambda}_2$ are traffic arrival rates of M2M and H2H traffic, respectively.

To provide an efficient link maintenance approach, we propose a cross layer medium access control (LM-MAC) protocol for multichannel cognitive radio ad hoc networks. Link establishment and reliable transmission are two key problems for a perfect link maintenance mechanism. Since the cognitive user (CU) pairs have to reestablish their links each frame, in the proposed MAC protocol, three different access modes are designed to guarantee transmission efficiency in continuous frames. To enhance the transmission reliability, each CU will create a father spectrum list (FSL) after joining in the network. FSL is divided into three groups of sub-channels with different functions to compensate the packet loss caused by the primary users' appearance and the deep fading. Meanwhile, since the transmitter and the receiver will share the same FSL, periodical cooperative sensing is adopted to further optimize the former problem. Finally, compared with the existing opportunistic multichannel (OMC)-MAC protocol, the proposed LM-MAC protocol achieves better system performance in terms of saturation throughput, continuity and access delay.

본 논문에서는 다수의 ATM 액세스망 사용자를 위해 대역폭을 공유하면서도 등시성 트래픽과 비등시성 트래픽을 동시에 수용할 수 있도록 개발된 DMR-II (Dynamic Monitor Ring -II) 공유매체 접속 제어 프로토콜의 구조 및 동작 원리를 소개하고자 한다. DMR-II 프로토콜은 슬롯 링형 구조를 사용하며, 비등시성 트래픽에 비해 등시성 트래픽을 우선적으로 전송한다. 등시성 트래픽은 슬롯 예약 기법을 이용하여 전송되며, 통신망의 수용 한계를 초과하는 경우 블럭킹기법을 적용하여 등시성 트래픽의 지연시간 편차를 일정치 이내로 유지한다. 그리고 비등시성 트래픽은 윈도우 카운터 기법에 바탕을 둔 리셋 메커니즘을 통해 모든 노드에게 공평한 전송 기회를 제공한다.
