In the latest date, medical body area networks (MBANs) are emerging as a new technology for diagnosis the human body. MBANs in the health care fields are based on short-range and low-power (e.g. ubiquitous computing) among small-sized devices, and have been used by means of medical services. In this paper, we proposed an emergency message transmission protocol using carrier sense multiple access/time division multiple access in MBANs. This scheme focuses on dependability and power-efficiency. In order to increase the reliability of the transmission, this scheme modified a MCTA slot of IEEE 802.15.3 standard to a SR-MCTA slot. SR-MCTA slot is assigned by MBAN coordinator according to requesting terminal nodes. The method, having the priority of transmission, occurs a collision packet randomly. Results from this proposed solution revel that reservation-based TDMA medical body area network(MBAN) protocol for transmitting emergency message was improved in terms of transmission delay.

IEEE 802.15.3 High-Rate WPAN(Wireless Personal Area Network)은 TDMA방식을 사용하며 10m내외에서 멀티미디어와 같은 실시간, 대용량 데이터의 전송을 목적으로 한 기술이다. TDMA방식을 사용하는 기술은 디바이스들이 통신을 하기 전에 미리 채널시간을 할당받아야 한다. IEEE 002.15.3 High-Rate WPAN 환경에서 TCP stream을 전송할 경우 TCP ACK을 전송하기 위해 새로운 채널시간을 할당받아야 한다 송신단은 전송할 데이터와 할당받은 채널시간이 남아있더라도 TCP ACK을 수신할 때까지 아무런 전송도 할 수 없게 된다. 본 논문에서는 High-rate WPAN환경에서 TCP stream을 효과적으로 지원하기 위해 송신단이 할당받은 채널시간동안 송신단과 수신단이 충돌없이 채널을 사용하며 네트워크의 성능을 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다.

In this paper, we consider broadband satellite networks using MF-TDMA (Multi-Frequency Time Division Multiple Access) scheme. We analyze the number of expected lost packets in each terminal, and mathematically formulate optimal buffer and timeslot allocation model to minimize the weighted sum of the numbers of expected lost packets. We also suggest optimal buffer and timeslot allocation scheme based on Lagrangean relaxation technique to solve the proposed model in a fast time. Extensive experiments show that the proposed scheme provides encouraging results.

WiMedia provides the data rate of up to 1Gbps, but the transmission range is restricted to approximately 10 meters. When constructing a multi-hop WiMedia network to extend its coverage, conventional hop-based routing may not guarantee satisfactorily the required QoS. We propose two QoS routing techniques for the WiMedia-based wireless mesh network. The proopsed QoS routing reflects the characteristics of TDMA-based WiMedia MAC and develops QoS extensions separately for on-demand routing and table-driven routing. Through simulations, we identify that the QoS routing shows better performance than the hop-based routing. It also turns out that the QoS on-demand routing and the QoS table-driven routing show conflicting performance results depending on the transmission power.

In this paper, we propose a new multi-channel MAC protocol to improve the channel efficiency by using two interfaces. Most of previous researches that have considered multi-channel wireless network environments use a common control channel to exchange control signals and they have a bottle neck problem at common control channel as increasing the number of data channels. In the proposed MAC protocol, we separate receiving and transmitting channels so that sending and receiving data and control packets at the same time is possible. It increases the total network throughput. Since there is no common control channel, the network does not suffer from the bottle neck problem. By applying a TDMA scheme, we can avoid packet collisions between data packets and control packets and reduce the possibility of CTS or ACK packet collisions. Simulation results show that the proposed multi-channel MAC protocol improves the total network throughput and channel efficiency compared with the existing method.

HomePlug AV(HPAV) is the standard for distribution of Audio/video content as well as data within the home by using the power line. It uses a hybrid access mechanism that combines TDMA with CSMA/CA for MAC technology. The CSMA/CA protocol in HPAV has two main control blobs that can be used for access control: contention window(CW) size and deferral counter(DC). In this paper, we extensively investigate the impacts of CW and DC on performance through simulations, and propose an adaptive mechanism that adjusts the CW size to enhance the throughput in HPAV MAC. We find that the CW size is more influential on performance than the DC. Therefore, to make controlling the network easier, our proposal uses a default value of DC and adjusts the CW size. Our scheme simply increases or decreases the CW size if the network is too busy or too idle, respectively, We compare the performance of our proposal with those of the standard and other competitive schemes in terms of throughput and fairness. Our simulation and analysis results show that our adaptive CW mechanism performs very well under various scenarios.

As a standard of WMNs, IEEE 802.11s supports two kinds of MAC algorithm: a mandatory EDCA used by IEEE 802.11e and an optional MCCA. While EDCA classifies traffic according to four Access Categories (AC) and offer differentiated service using a classified priority, MCCA can guarantee the specific bandwidth of users with a TDMA-style bandwidth reservation scheme between mesh routers. In case that a flow is VBR traffic of a multimedia application, MCCA has disadvantage that the reserved bandwidth does not be used entirely, though it guarantees required bandwidth of users and fairness using bandwidth reservation with neighbors' node. In this paper, we showed a problem that is wastes the reserved bandwidth when MCCA is enabled and proposed a new scheduling algorithm to prevent waste of bandwidth and to improve network utilization effectively, named Resource Sharing Round Robin (RSRR) scheduling. Finally we showed simulation results that performance of a proposed RSRR is better than the legacy MCCA through NS-2 simulation.

This paper introduces two multi-hop delay factors which can be caused by conventional TDMA scheduling; queueing delay and delay by random link scheduling, and proposes a new sequential scheduling scheme to resolve these two factors. We also simulate the TDMA network with the proposed link scheduling scheme and compare it with conventional(random) link scheduling scheme in terms of end-to-end packet transmission delay. From the simulation results, the more the average hop distance increases, the more the difference of the delay performance of both scheduling schemes increases. When the average number of hops is 2.66, 4.1, 4.75, and 6.3, the proposed sequential scheduling scheme reduces the average end-to-end delay by about 22%, 36%, 48%, and 55% respectively when compared to the random scheduling scheme.
