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.

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

This paper presents a terminal-assisted frame-based packet reservation multiple access (TAF-PRMA) protocol, which optimizes random access control between heterogeneous traffic aiming at more efficient voice/data integrated services in dynamic reservation TDMA-based broadband access networks. In order to achieve a differentiated quality-of-service (QoS) guarantee for individual service plus maximal system resource utilization, TAF-PRMA independently controls the random access parameters such as the lengths of the access regions dedicated to respective service traffic and the corresponding permission probabilities, on a frame-by-frame basis. In addition, we have adopted a terminal-assisted random access mechanism where the voice terminal readjusts a global permission probability from the central controller in order to handle the 'fair access' issue resulting from distributed queuing problems inherent in the access network. Our extensive simulation results indicate that TAF-PRMA achieves significant improvements in terms of voice capacity, delay, and fairness over most of the existing medium access control (MAC) schemes for integrated services.

In this paper, a slotted CDMA_ALOHA protocol with hybrid ARQ is proposed for the wireless CDMA communication networks. The proposed protocol combines the characteristics of the slotted ALOHA, CDMA, and the hybrid ARQ, in order to increase the throughput by reducing the number of retransmissions when the channel experiences heavy traffic. The main feature of the proposed protocol is the utilization of the forward error correction capability to correct errors that appear after the CDMA dispreading of the packets. The base station does not need to ask so often for retransmission of erroneous packets. It will request for retransmission only when the FEC capability is exceeded. The performance of the proposed protocol is analyzed by considering the packet collision probability as well as the bit error probability. The numerical results show that the system throughput is closely related to the bit error rate of the wireless link and the FEC coding rate.

HFC(Hybrid Fiber Coax)망은 광케이블 구간과 동축케이블 구간으로 나뉘어져 있으며 광케이블 구간은 성형(Star)구조를 가지며 동축케이블 전송구간은 수지분기형(Tree and Branch)구조로 되어있다. HFC망의 상향채널은 가입자에서 헤드앤드로 데이터 전송 시 500가입자 이상이 공유하기 때문에 이를 제어하기 위한 매체접근제어(Medium Access Control)프로토콜이 필요하다. 특히, 음성, 비디오 그리고 데이터와 같은 트래픽의 QoS(Quality of Service)를 만족시키기 위해서는 서비스별로 우선 순위를 고려한 충돌해결알고리즘이 요구되어진다. 그러므로, 본 논문에서는 기존 알고리즘의 문제점을 분석하여 트래픽 특성에 따라 우선순위를 제공하는 충돌해결알고리즘을 제안하였다.

The DCF (Dcistributed Coordination Function) and PCF (Point Coordination Function) are the basic MAC (Medium Access Control) protocols of IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs. According to the DCF, each node performs the exponential backoff algorithm before the transmission of its data frame. Each node doubles the backoff waiting time before the transmission of its data frame whenever it detects the transmission collision with other nodes. Therefore, as the number of the active nodes having the data frames to transmit increases, the overall MAC performance of the DCF decreases. On the other hand, according to the PCF, each node is granted the transmission opportunity by which the PCF transmission is possible without the collision with other nodes. Therefore, as the number of the active nodes increases, the MAC performance of the PCF increases, In this paper, considering the tradeoff of MAC performance between the DCF and PCF, a hybrid MAC protocol is proposed to enhance the performance of IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs.

In this paper, we introduce a reliable, scalable, and cost-effective switchless wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) network based on a quality-of-service supporting reservation-based medium access control (MAC) protocol. The protocol not only provides both packet and circuit switching but also supports multicasting. The network efficiency is significantly increased by spatially reusing wavelengths and exploiting multiple free spectral ranges (FSRs) of arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) employed in the architecture. We have demonstrated the feasibility of this architecture by simulating in $Optsim^{TM}$.

It is well-known that the cooperative communication and error control technology can improve the network performance, but most existing cooperative MAC protocols have not focused on how to cope with the contention process caused by cooperation and how to reduce the bad influence of channel packet error rate on the system performance. Inspired by this, this paper first modifies and improves the basic rules of the IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol to optimize the contention among the multi-relay in a cooperative ARQ scheme. Secondly, a hybrid ARQ protocol with soft combining is adopted to make full use of the effective information in the error data packet and hence improve the ability of the receiver to decode the data packet correctly. The closed expressions of network performance including throughput and average packet transmission delay in a saturated network are then analyzed and derived by establishing a dedicated two-dimensional Markov model and solving its steady-state distribution. Finally, the performance evaluation and superiority of the proposed protocol are validated in different representative study cases through MATLAB simulations.

Bidirectional cable TV networks using HFC(Hybrid Fiber Coaxial) networks need MAC (Medium access control) protocols to have efficient access in upstream channels. In this paper, we have studied and evaluated several contention resolution algorithms and mapping of higher layer traffic described in IEEE 802.14 and MCNS (Multimedial Cable Network System) MAC protocols with respect to IP, ABR and CBR traffic types. IEEE 802.14 MAC protocol demonstrates better performance for transmitting ATM cells while the MCNS MAC protocols for the IP traffic.

본 논문은 IEEE 802.11p에 기반한 CSMA의 미디어 접근 제어로서, 경쟁 차량단말기(OnBord Unit, OBU)의 증가에 따른 전송 지연(transmission delay)과 감소(data throughput decrease) 문제를 해결하고자 한다. 경쟁 기반의 전송매체에서는 OBU 증가에 따라 충돌 확률이 높아진다. 이러한 미디엄 계층의 성능 향상을 위해 교통량과 데이터 종류를 고려하여 접속 단말기의 개별 충돌 윈도(Contention Windows, CW)를 동적으로 조절하는 EDCA(Enhanced Distributed Channel Access)를 제안하였다. EDCA는 채널별 서비스 차별화를 위해 네 개의 클래스를 AC(Access Category)마다 고정된 최소 경쟁 윈도우(CWmin) 값과 최대 경쟁 윈도우(CWmax) 값을 적용한다. EDCA는 트래픽 특성별로 구분되어 AC 간의 차별화를 보장하지만, IEEE 802.11p 에 구성된 채널별 특성과 네트워크 상태를 보장하지 않기 때문에, 짧은 채널 서비스별 혼잡에 따른 충돌 발생을 능동적으로 대처할 수 없다. 이에 따른 해결방안으로 CWminAS(CWmin Adaptation Scheme)와 ACATICT(Adaptive Contention window Adjustment Technique based on Individual Class Traffic)가 능동적인 CW의 제어 기법으로 제시되었다. 선행연구는 개별 AC 값에 따라 발생하는 충돌 확률을 고려하지 않거나 단일 채널 기반의 개별 AC 값만 고려하고, IEEE 802.11p의 채널별 요구 사항과 이에 따른 충돌 확률을 반영하지 않았다. 본 연구는 이전 서비스 구간에서 OBU 경쟁에 따라 발생하는 충돌 횟수와 현재 무선망의 혼잡을 고려하여, 다음 채널의 CW를 능동적으로 제어하는 기법으로 ACCW(Adaptive Control of Contention windows in considering the WAVE situation)를 제안한다.
