Backoff mechanism serves as one of the key technologies in the MAC-layer of wireless mobile networks. The traditional Binary Exponential Backoff (BEB) mechanism in IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) and other existing backoff mechanisms poses several performance issues. For instance, the Contention Window (CW) oscillations occur frequently; a low delay QoS guarantee cannot be provided for real-time transmission, and services with different priorities are not differentiated. For these problems, we present a novel Multi-Priority service differentiated and Adaptive Backoff (MPAB) algorithm over IEEE 802.11 DCF for wireless mobile networks in this paper. In this algorithm, the backoff stage is chosen adaptively according to the channel status and traffic priority, and the forwarding and receding transition probability between the adjacent backoff stages for different priority traffic can be controlled and adjusted for demands at any time. We further employ the 2-dimensional Markov chain model to analyze the algorithm, and derive the analytical expressions of the saturation throughput and average medium access delay. Both the accuracy of the expressions and the algorithm performance are verified through simulations. The results show that the performance of the MPAB algorithm can offer a higher throughput and lower delay than the BEB algorithm.

In this paper, an implementation of concurrent backoff delay process on a single chip with IEEE 802.15.4 hardware and 8051 processor core that can be used for analyzing the interference on IEEE 802.15.4 channels due to WiFi traffics is studied. The backoff delay process of IEEE 802.15.4 CSMA-CA algorithm is explained. The characteristics of random number generator, timer, and CCA register included in the single chip are described with their control procedure in order to implement the process. A concurrent backoff delay process to evaluate multiple IEEE 802.15.4 channels is proposed, and a method to service the associated tasks at sequentially ordered backoff delay events occurring on the channels is explained. For the implementation of the concurrent backoff delay process on a single chip IEEE 802.15.4 hardware, the elements for the single channel backoff delay process and their control procedure are used to be extended to multiple channels with little modification. The medium access delay on each channel, which is available after execution of the concurrent backoff delay process, is displayed on the LCD of an IEEE 802.15.4 channel analyzer. The experimental results show that we can easily identify the interference on IEEE 802.15.4 channels caused by WiFi traffics in comparison with the way displaying measured channel powers.

An inseparable challenge associated with every random access network is the design of an efficient Collision Resolution Algorithm (CRA), since collisions cannot be completely avoided in such network. To maximize the collision resolution efficiency of a popular CRA, namely Binary Exponential Backoff (BEB), we propose a reactive backoff algorithm. The proposed backoff algorithm is reactive in the sense that it updates the contention window based on the previously selected backoff value in the failed contention stage to avoid a typical type of collision, referred as cross-collision. Cross-collision would occur if the contention slot pointed by the currently selected backoff value appeared to be present in the overlapped portion of the adjacent (the previous and the current) windows. The proposed reactive algorithm contributes to significant performance improvements in the network since it offers a supplementary feature of Cross Collision Exclusion (XCE) and also retains the legacy collision mitigation features. We formulate a Markovian model to emulate the characteristics of the proposed algorithm. Based on the solution of the model, we then estimate the throughput and delay performances of WLAN following the signaling mechanisms of the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) considering IEEE 802.11b system parameters. We validate the accuracy of the analytical performance estimation framework by comparing the analytically obtained results with the results that we obtain from the simulation experiments performed in ns-2. Through the rigorous analysis, based on the validated model, we show that the proposed reactive cross collision exclusionary backoff algorithm significantly enhances the throughput and reduces the average packet delay in the network.

IEEE 802.11 WLAN의 MAC에서는 데이터 전송을 제어하기 위한 방법으로 DCF와 PCF를 사용하며, DCF의 경우 CSMA/CA를 기반으로 한다. DCF의 BEB 백오프 알고리즘은 경쟁하는 스테이션이 적은 상황에서는 비교적 우수한 성능을 보이나 경쟁하는 스테이션의 수가 많은 경우 처리율, 지연 관점에서 성능이 저하되는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 패킷 전송 후 충돌이 발생하면 경쟁윈도우를 2배로 증가시키고 패킷의 정상적인 전송 후에는 경쟁윈도우를 반으로 감소함으로써 패킷 충돌 확률을 낮추는 MIMD 백오프 알고리즘을 패킷 재전송 횟수까지 고려하여 수학적으로 분석한다. MIMD 백오프 알고리즘의 효율성을 입증하기 위해 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 분석하였다.

스마트그리드 HAN(Home Area Networks)을 위한 IEEE 802.15.4에 대한 많은 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 기존의 Unslotted와 Slotted IEEE 802.15.4는 미국 DOE(Department of Energy)의 엄격한 조건을 거의 만족시키지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 충돌과 지연시간을 줄이고 지연시간 변화도 적게 하는 개선된 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이를 위해 노드에 번호를 부여하고, 노드 번호 순서에 따라 전송하도록 하였다. 노드에 번호를 부여하면 랜덤하게 전송하는 것보다는 충돌이 발생할 확률이 줄어들기 때문에 Backoff 시간을 0으로 설정하였다. 제안한 Numbered-Unslotted-ZeroBackoff 알고리즘에서, 패킷 크기가 133 octets이고, 초당 180개 이하의 패킷이 발생할 경우, 전달률 99.99% 이상과, 최대 지연, 평균 지연, 최소 지연 모두 0.02 초 이하의 지연이 발생함을 확인하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방식이 DOE의 엄격한 조건을 만족함을 확인할 수 있었다.

IEEE 802.11의 MAC에서는 데이터 전송을 제어하기 위해 DCF(Distributed Coordination Function)를 사용한다. DCF의 BEB(Binary Exponential Backoff) 알고리즘은 경쟁하는 스테이션의 수가 일정 수가 넘을 경우 최소 경쟁윈도우(Minimum Contention Window)의 크기로 인해 백오프(backoff) 시 필연적으로 충돌이 발생하여 성능이 저하되는 문제점을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 백오프 스테이지(Backoff Stage)를 AP(Acess Point)에 접속된 스테이션의 수에 따라 가변 조정하는 VBS(Variable Backoff Stage)알고리즘을 제안하고 이를 통해 필연적으로 발생하는 충돌을 방지함으로써 네트워크의 사용량을 높이는 방안을 제시한다. 또한 제안된 알고리즘의 분석적인 모델을 도출하고 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 기법이 적용된 BEB 알고리즘과 VBS 알고리즘을 비교하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 VBS 알고리즘의 백오프 상태 증가율을 5와 10으로 적용한 결과 BEB 알고리즘보다 재전송 횟수가 1/5, 1/10로 줄었으며 네트워크 사용량은 19%, 18% 개선되었다. 패킷 지연은 두 경우 모두 약 1/12 수준으로 측정되었다.

A basic access method about IEEE 802.11 MAC layer protocol using IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs is the DCF thatis based on the CSMA/CA. But, cause of IEEE 802.11 MAC layer uses original backoff algorithm (exponential backoff method), when collision occurred, the size of contention windows increases the double size Also, a time of packet transmission delay increases and efficienty is decreased by original backoff scheme. In this paper, we have analyzed TCP packet transmission time of IEEE 802.11 MAC DCF protocol for wireless LANs a proposed enhanced backoff algorithm. It is considered the transmission time of transmission control protocol (TCP) packet on the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in additive white gaussian noise (A WGN) and Rician fading channel. From the results, a proposed enhanced backoff algorithm produces a better performance improvement than an original backoff in wireless LAN environment. Also, in OFDM/quadrature phase shift keying channel (QPSK), we can achieve that the transmission time in wireless channel decreases as the TCP packet size increases and based on the data collected, we can infer the correlation between packet size and the transmission time, allowing for an inference of the optimal packet size in the TCP layer.

The IEEE 802.15.4 uses a CSMA/CA algorithm on access of media. The CSMA/CA algorithm does Random Backoff before the data is transmitted to avoid collisions. The random backoff is a kind of unavoidable delays and introduces the side effect of energy consumptions. To cope with those problems we propose a new media access algorithm, the Priority Based Ordered Media Access (PBOMA) algorithm, which uses different IFSs. The PBOMA algorithm uses Sampling Rate and Beacon Interval to get a different access probability(or IFS). The access probability is higher, the IFS is shorter. Note that The transfer of urgent data uses tone signal to transmit it immediately. The proposed algorithm is expected to reduce the energy consumptions and the delay.
