The increasing use of Ethernet-TCP/IP network in industry has led to the growing interest in its reliability in real-time applications such as automated manufacturing systems and process control systems. However, stochastic behavior of its medium access scheme makes it inadequate for time-critical applications. In order to guarantee hard real-time communication service in Ethernet-TCP/IP network, we proposed an algorithm running over TCP/IP protocol stack without modification of protocols. In this paper, we consider communication services guaranteeing deadlines of periodic real-time messages over MAC protocols that have unbounded medium access time. We propose a centralized token scheduling scheme for multiple access networks. The token is used to allow a station to transmit its message during the time amount that is appended to the token. The real-time performance of the proposed algorithm has been described.

In this paper, we explore the utility of recently discovered multiple-antenna techniques (namely MIMO techniques) for medium access control (MAC) design and routing in mobile ad hoc networks. Specifically, we focus on ad hoc networks where the spatial diversity technique is used to combat fading and achieve robustness in the presence of user mobility. We first examine the impact of spatial diversity on the MAC design, and devise a MIMO MAC protocol accordingly. We then develop analytical methods to characterize the corresponding saturation throughput for MIMO multi-hop networks. Building on the throughout analysis, we study the impact of MIMO MAC on routing. We characterize the optimal hop distance that minimizes the end-to-end delay in a large network. For completeness, we also study MAC design using directional antennas for the case where the channel has a strong line of sight (LOS) component. Our results show that the spatial diversity technique and the directional antenna technique can enhance the performance of mobile ad hoc networks significantly.

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

The Berkeley-medium access control (B-MAC) is a lightweight, configurable and asynchronous duty cycle medium access control (MAC) protocol in wireless sensor networks. This article presents an analytic modelling of single-hop B-MAC protocol under a Poisson traffic assumption.Our model considers important B-MAC parameters such as the sleep cycle, the two stage backoff mechanism, and the extended preamble. The service delay of an arriving packet and the energy consumption are calculated by an iterative method. The simulation results verify that the proposed analytic model can accurately estimate the performance of single-hop B-MAC with different operating environments.

무선 센서망은 망의 사용목적에 따라 빛, 온도, 진동, 자기 영역, 바람 등을 감지 할 수 있는 센서와 컴퓨팅 기술로 통합된다. 무선 노드들은 센서에서 감지된 정보를 처리하는 신호 처리 기술과 측정자에게 정보가 도달하게 하는 통신 제어 기술과, 무선으로 구동되고 배터리를 사용하기 때문에 발생하는 제한적 에너지 관리 기술이 구현된다. 그 중 신뢰성 있는 측정 및 감지를 하고자 한다면 망의 지속시간의 비중이 크기 때문에 효율적인 에너지 관리 기술이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 하드웨어에서의 전원관리가 아닌 OSI 7계층 중 데이터 링크 계층에 해당하는 MAC(Medium Access Control)에서 기존의 무선 MAC 프로토콜인 CSMA/CA(Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance)과 무선 센서 MAC 프로토콜인 ER-MAC(Energy Rate Medium Access Control)에 대해 설명후 각각 프로토콜에 따른 망의 지속시간을 비교하여 효율성을 분석한다.

In this paper, we introduced our designed TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) based MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol for Home Networks called HomeTDMA. We have implemented and tested it in a test bed using crossbow motes and TinyOS. We also have compared HomeTDMA and CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access) in terms of space and time complexity, channel access time, delivery success ratio, and throughput. Based on our results, HomeTDMA has an advantage over CSMA on channel access time, throughput and delivery success ratioIn the case of complexity, HomeTDMA is more complex compared to CSMA. Thus, CSMA is more appropriate in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) where memory, energy, and throughput are important parameters to be considered. However, HomeTDMA has a natural advantage of collision free medium access and is very promising for home networks where a reliable transmission or data transfer and congestion control is highly preferred.

본 논문에서는 단일의 전송매체를 여러 스테이션이 사용하기 위한 효율적인 매체접속제어 방식을 제안하였다. 매체접속제어 방식은 크게 예약방식과 충돌 허용방식으로 구분되며 네트워크 환경에 따라 각각의 방식이 효율성에서 장점을 지닌다. 제안된 매체접속제어 방식은 충돌 허용방식인 CSMA/CD를 기본으로 하며 충돌현상을 지연하여 채널을 예약하는 기능을 부가하였다. 따라서 충돌이 발생하면 예약과정을 거쳐 채널에는 예약에 성공한 스테이션만 경쟁에 참여하게 되어 매체접속 확률을 높이게 된다. 제안된 프로토콜은 충돌의 횟수가 감소하여 전체적으로 채널의 활용도가 향상되는 것을 시뮬레이션으로 확인하였다.

In this paper, we present a channel access mechanism, referred to as the enhanced mesh coordinated channel access (eMCCA) mechanism, for IEEE 802.11s-based wireless mesh networks. The current draft of IEEE 802.11s includes an optional medium access control (MAC), denoted as MCCA, which is designed to provide collision-free and guaranteed channel access during reserved periods. However, the MCCA mechanism fails to achieve the desired goal in the presence of contending non-MCCA nodes; this is because non-MCCA nodes are not aware of MCCA reservations and have equal access opportunities during reserved periods. We first present a probabilistic analysis that reveals the extent to which the performance of MCCA may be affected by contending non-MCCA nodes. We then propose eMCCA, which allows MCCA-enabled nodes to enjoy collision-free and guaranteed channel access during reserved periods by means of prioritized and preemptive access mechanisms. Finally, we evaluate the performance of eMCCA through extensive simulations under different network scenarios. The simulation results indicate that eMCCA outperforms other mechanisms in terms of success rate, network throughput, end-to-end delay, packet-loss rate, and mesh coordinated channel access opportunity-utilization.

무선 MAC (Medium Access Control)과 라우팅 기술은 사물인터넷의 핵심 네트워크 기술 요소로서. 최근 이와 관련된 집중적인 연구가 진행 되고 있다. 그러나 사물인터넷을 위한 새로운 표준이 제안되고, 다른 네트워크 관련 기술들이 패치되면서, 이러한 네트워크의 성능을 평가하는 방식은 명확하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 사물인터넷을 위한 최근의 MAC과 라우팅 프로토콜 기술을 분석 정리하고, 이들 간의 상호작용에 대하여 설명하였다. 특히, 현재 많은 사물인터넷 관련 분야에서 고려되고 있는 IEEE 802.15.4 MAC 과 RPL (Routing Protocol for Low-power Lossy Network) 라우팅 프로토콜의 기술을 설명하고 이들 간의 상호 작용에 대하여 설명하였다. 이러한 분석에 따라 경쟁기반의 MAC 프로토콜의 경우 라우팅의 성능에 치명적인 영향을 줄 수 있으므로 MAC과 라우팅 관련 시스템 파라미터를 최적화 할 수 있는 모델링을 제시하였다.

In this paper, a medium access control protocol is proposed for integrated voice and data services in wireless local networks. Uplink channels for the proposed protocol are composed of time slots with multiple spreading codes per slot based on slotted code division multiple access (CDMA) systems. The proposed protocol uses spreading code sensing and reservation schemes. This protocol gives higher access priority to delay-sensitive voice traffic than to data traffic. The voice terminal reserves an available spreading code to transmit multiple voice packets during a talkspurt. On the other hand, the data terminal transmits a packet without making a reservation over one of the available spreading codes that are not used by voice terminals. In this protocol, voice packets do not come into collision with data packets. The numerical results show that this protocol can increase the system capacity for voice service by applying the reservation scheme. The performance for data traffic will decrease in the case of high voice traffic load because of its low access priority. But it shows that the data traffic performance can be increased in proportion to the number of spreading codes.
