Cognitive Radio Ad-Hoc Networks (CRAHNs) enable to overcome the shortage of frequency resources due to the increase of radio services. In order to avoid interference with the primary user in CRANH, channel sensing to check the idle channel is required, and when the primary user appears, the time delay due to handover should be minimized through fast idle channel selection. In this paper, throughput was improved by reducing the number of channel sensing and preferentially sensing a channel with a high probability of being idle, using reinforcement learning. In addition, we proposed a multi-channel MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol that can minimize the possibility of collision with the primary user by sensing the channel at the time of data transmission without performing periodic sensing. The performance was compared and analyzed through computer simulation.

The importance of livestock production of agriculture in Korea is very large. Investments in sanitation facilities and environmental factors such as animal health and odor have been relatively crude, and over the past few years animal disease has emerged as the leading cause of domestic livestock farmers' income stability. There is a need for an access control system that can be purchased and installed by small and medium-sized farmers who are suffering from pollutants and small farmers who can not afford to install costly sterilization on an economical basis. In this paper, based on the plasma access control system proposed previously, we developed an ICT surveillance access control prototype system that can ensure safety and security through access control and integrated control system that introduces a sterilization system using plasma required by farmers affected by pollutants.

In this Paper, we analyzed the HIPERLAN(Hlgh PErformance Radio LAN) MAC(Medium Access Control) protocol, which was a standard for Wireless LANs defined by ETSI. We analyzed mathematically the elimination phase and the yield phase of the channel contention phase of CAC(Channel Access Control) layer in the infinite population model of the HIPERLAN using EY-NPMA(Elimination Yield-Nonpreemptive Priority Multiple Access)protocol. Also we analyzed the probability of successful transmission in the transmission phase. And, we proved results of a mathematical analysis by the simulation of HIPERLAN MAC protocol.

In this paper, we propose a bidirectional full duplex MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol for underwater acoustic networks. An underwater sensor node can set a back-off timer according to the priority of transmission. When the back-off timer expires, the underwater sensor node acquires a transmission opportunity. If a source node wants to send data to a destination node, it broadcasts RTS (Request-To-Send) including ID of the destination node to neighbor nodes. The destination node receiving RTS sends CTS (Clear-To-Send) to the source node to inform the bidirectional full duplex communication. After the source node receives CTS, the source node and the destination node can send the data to each other. In the underwater environment, the existing MAC protocol may take a lot of time for successful transmission of data due to long underwater propagation delay. On the other hand, the proposed bidirectional full duplex MAC protocol improves the throughput by shortening the time for successful transmission of data. In this paper, we analyze the throughput of the proposed bidirectional full duplex MAC protocol. In addition, we show that the proposed bidirectional full duplex MAC protocol has better performance in the presence of the long underwater propagation delay compared with existing MAC protocols for underwater environments.

To improve the efficiency of carrier sense multiple access (CSMA)-based medium access control (MAC) protocols, CSMA with collision resolution (CSMA/CR) has been proposed. In the CSMA/CR, a transmitting station can detect a collision by employing additional sensing after the start of a data transmission and then resolve the next collision that might occur by broadcasting a jam signal during a collision detection (CD) period. In this paper, we analyze the delay of a CSMA/CR based on a generic p- persistent CSMA model and obtain the minimum achievable delay of the CSMA/CR by finding the optimal length of the CD period according to the number of contending stations. Through this delay analysis, we also investigate the throughput-delay characteristics of the CSMA/CR protocol according to various parameters. Analysis and simulation results show that the CSMA/CR has a considerably lower delay and its throughput-delay characteristic is significantly improved than the conventional CSMA/CA and wireless CSMA/CD protocols.

The interest in underwater acoustic sensor networks (UWASNs), along with the rapid development of underwater industries, has increased. To operate UWASNs efficiently, it is important to adopt well-designed medium access control (MAC) protocols that prevent collisions and allow the sharing of resources between nodes efficiently. On the other hand, underwater channels suffer from a narrow bandwidth, long propagation delay, and low data rate, so existing terrestrial node pairing schemes for non orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) cannot be applied directly to underwater environments. Therefore, a multi-dimensional node pairing scheme is proposed to consider the unique underwater channel in UWASNs. Conventional NOMA schemes have considered the channel quality only in node pairing. Unlike previous schemes, the proposed scheme considers the channel gain and many other features, such as node fairness, traffic load, and the age of data packets to find the best node-pair. In addition, the sender employs a list of candidates for node-pairs rather than path loss to reduce the computational complexity. The simulation results showed that the proposed scheme outperforms the conventional scheme by considering the fairness factor with 23.8% increases in throughput, 28% decreases in latency, and 5.7% improvements in fairness at best.

In recent years, the predominant part in telecommunications is mobile communications. The next generation network is extending today's voice-only mobile networks to multi-service networks. ATM Network is possible to carry such multi-media traffic and it will be expect to use wireless ATM for the future mobile access network. One of manly important aspects for the performance of wireless ATM is the Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol. The MAC protocol must be able to satisfyingly handle the different ATM services (CBR, VBR, ABR and UBR) with their radically different performance requirements. Additionally, the MAC protocol must be able to cope with the complex radio environment where fading, multi-path propagation interference and burst-errors further complicate the situation. In this paper, a dynamic slot allocation algorithm in wireless ATM is proposed for an efficient channel sharing/media access at the MAC layer. We use equivalent capacity in the allocation of slots for VBR traffic which is variable along the time. It is simple and effective slot allocation method for VBR service. In particular, we consider the slot allocation of a session consisted of several connections for requirement of multimedia traffic. Simulation shows that the cell loss ratio is reduced by re-allocation of extra slots in Mobile Terminal (MT).

In this paper a GFC protocol based on HMR(High-speed Multimedia Ring) with a dynamic quota allocation is proposed and the performance of proposed protocol is evaluated by simulation. The HMR a medium access protocol proposed for Gbit ATM-LAN, can be applied to the GFC protocol without any modification because it uses only 4 bits for medium access of several topologies such as bus, ring and stared-bus, and priority control for satisfaction of different QoS(Quality of Service) requirements. The quota allocation method of HMR called static quota allocation has a problem of excessive access delay for the traffic with high burstness. In this paper a dynamic quota allocation method which allocates quota to the nodes according to the queue length is proposed and the performance of HMR with dynamic quota allocation is evaluated by seven simulation scenarios of CCITT. The HMR with proposed method shows better shows better access delay characteristics than the HMR with static quota allocation. Also the simulation results show that access delay performance of HMR is better than that of ATMR proposed by Japan and is similar to that of DQDB proposed by Australia.

The consensus algorithm has a faster convergence speed as the number of cooperating neighbors increases, but the information sharing delay in the wireless network increases due to access collisions as the number of cooperating neighbors increases. Therefore, there exists a tradeoff between these two performances according to node's coverage. In this paper, we present a method of coverage control that minimizes consensus time according to network scale.
