The number of stations existing in the same wireless channel is increasing due to the spread of the wireless LAN devices. CSMA/CA, a conventional wireless LAN protocol, uses a random backoff method. In the random backoff scheme, collision between stations is frequent in a dense region where the number of stations existing in the same channel is several tens or more, and the performance of the performance degradation of such a protocol, the IEEE 802.11ah standard proposed a Restricted Access Window(RAW) wireless access method. RAW improves performance by limiting the number of concurrent access stations by dividing the stations into several groups. In this paper, we propose a method to improve the performance of channel connection by using new group creation, group removal and group relocation algorithm according to traffic change by improving existing RAW method.

One of the consideration things to design protocol in wireless sensor networks is to maximize lifetime of sensor node as reducing energy consumption. In this paper propose reserve based multichannel CSMA mac protocol for minimizing energy consumption which arise from collision and waiting retransmission at channel access process in mac layer Each sensor node which constitute sensor networks has data channel and control channel. And as sensor node reserve channel for data transmission by using control channel and receipt node allow reservation node to use data channel, sending node can abbreviate try of retransmission after random interval time. Also, When sending node delivers selects option channel in available channels to receipt node, the receipt node decide whether the channel is available to oneself and through the result select transmission channel ultimately. Performance evaluation compare with previous simple multichannel CSMA.

In this paper, we carried out a study on how to find an appropriate helper node for cooperative communications, the role of which is very import to enhance system throughput of wireless communication system. The busy tone cooperative MAC (BT-COMAC) protocol proposed in this paper is a new cooperative MAC protocol with a reactive helper node scheme and maximizes the benefits of existing schemes while making up for their shortcomings. We conducted performance evaluation of this new protocol using computer simulation experiment. System throughput in bps and channel access delay are utilized as performance measures. We used a random way point mobility model where every communication node moves independently one another, and slow fading channel where every communication node decided its transmission rate with received power basis. Numerical results show that the new MAC protocol enhances system throughput as much as 15% of the existing scheme.

Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) are the best choice when mobility, scalability, and decentralized network infrastructure are needed. Because of critical mission applications of MANETs, network security is the vital requirement. Most routing protocols in MANETs assume that every node in the network is trustworthy. However, due to the open medium, the wide distribution, and the lack of nodes' physical protection, attackers can easily compromise MANETs by inserting misbehaving nodes into the network that make blackhole attacks. Previous research to detect the misbehaving nodes in MANETs used the overhearing methods, or additional ACKnowledgement (ACK) packets to confirm the reception of data packets. In this paper a special lightweight acknowledgement-based method is developed that, contrary to existing methods, it uses ACK packets of MAC layer instead of adding new ACK packets to the network layer for confirmations. In fact, this novel method, named PIGACK, uses ACK packets of MAC 802.11 to piggyback confirmations from a receiver to a sender in the same transmission duration that the sender sends a data packet to the receiver. Analytical and simulation results show that the proposed method considerably decreases the network overhead and increases the packet delivery ratio compared to the well-known method (2ACK).

The IEEE 802.11 MAC (Media Access Control) Protocol supports two modes of operation, a random access mode for nonreal-time data applications processed by Distributed Coordinated Function (DCF), and a polling mode for real-time applications served by Point Coordinated Function (PCF). It is known that the standard IEEE 802.11 is insufficient to serve real-time traffic. To provide Quality of Service (QoS) of real-time traffic, we propose the Downlink-first scheduling with Earliest Due Date (EDD) in Contention Free Period (CFP) with suitable admission control. The capacity and deadline violation probability of the proposed system is analyzed and compared to the standard pair system of downlink and uplink. Analytical and simulation results show that the proposed scheme is remarkably efficient in view of the deadline violation probability.

HiperLAN Type2에서의 MAC 프로토콜은 TDMA/TDD을 기반으로 하며, 무선채널은 중앙제어방식으로 운영되는 AP(Access Point)에 의해서 할당된다. 상향링크로 데이터 전송이 필요한 이동단말은 RCH 채널을 통하여 AP에게 무선자원을 요청한다. 각 MAC 프레임마다 RCH 수를 동적으로 변경하는 것이 중요한데, RCH 수가 많이 할당되면 무선자원의 낭비를 초래하며, RCH 수가 적게 할당되면 이동단말간의 충돌이 증가하고 AP에 접속하는 시간도 길어진다. 따라서 RCH 수는 트래픽에 따라 적절하게 할당되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 HiperLAN/2에서의 성능향상을 위해 충돌과 성공을 고려하여 RCH(Random CHannel)수를 고정적인 ${\beta}$값만큼 증감하는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법의 효율성을 입증하기 위해 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 처리율과 접속지연 관점에서 분석하였다.

In this paper, a CSSMA/AI MAC protocol in packet CDMA network is presented. The main features of this protocol are the code status sensing and reservation for reducing the packet collision. The base station broadcasts the code status on a frame-by-frame basis just before the beginning of each preamble transmission, and the mobile station transmits a preamble for reserving a code based on the received code status. After having transmitted the preamble, the mobile station listens to the downlink of the selected code and waits the base station reply. If this reply indicates that the code has been correctly acquired, it continues the packet transmission for the rest of the frame. If there are other packets waiting for transmission, the base station broadcasts the status of the code as reserved, and the mobile station transmits a packet on a reserved code for the successive frames.

High-rate wireless personal area network (HR-WPAN) has been standardized by the IEEE 802.15.3 task group (TG). To support multimedia services, the IEEE 802.15.3 TG adopts a time-slotted medium access control (MAC) protocol controlled by a central device. In the time division multiple access (TDMA)-based wireless packet networks, the packet scheduling algorithm plays a key role in quality of service (QoS) provisioning for multimedia services. In this paper, we propose an adaptive cross-layer packet scheduling method for the TDMA-based HR-WPAN. Physical channel conditions, MAC protocol, link layer status, random traffic arrival, and QoS requirement are taken into consideration by the proposed packet scheduling method. Performance evaluations are carried out through extensive simulations and significant performance enhancements are observed. Furthermore, the performance of the proposed scheme remains stable regardless of the variable system parameters such as the number of devices (DEVs) and delay bound.
