The IEEE 802.15.6 is a communication standard for Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). This standard includes a prioritized slotted Aloha as a choice for medium access control. This protocol is different from the traditional version as it has integral considerations for certain priorities of users. It attempts to resolve collision by halving the probability of retransmission, lower bounded by to a minimum, in the alternate slots to follow. In this paper, we present an analytical model to compute the non-saturated throughput of this protocol in the presence of finite number of nodes. The model is validated against simulation.

The next generation of wireless communication seems to be multimedia communications based on ATM and requires the efficient MAC(Medium Access Control) protocol to support multimedia traffic with the various characteristics of QoS(Quality of Service). A Proposed D-PRMA++ MAC protocol is operated dynamically by the retransmission probability and the number of reservation channel on the side of MS(Mobile Station) Also, On the side of BS(Base Station) it analyzes the parameters receive d from all MS and allocates the slots by priority in order to guarantee QoS.

In this paper, we evaluate the throughput and delay performance of a wireless Local Area Network(WLAN) employing the OFDM-based IEEE 802.lla Medium Access Control(MAC) protocol by compute. simulations under wireless indoor. channel. Packet Error Rate(PER) is also investigated for the various Eb/No. It is shown that, with soft-decision Viterbi decoder, throughput and delay performance are close to those of error-free channel at Eb/No above 8dB and PER is about 2${\times}$10$\^$-5/ at Eb/No=10dB.

In this paper, we propose an efficient sequencing technique, namely minimum Row time scheduling (MFTS), to manage variable-Iength message transmissions for single-hop passive starcoupled WDM optical networks. By considering not only the message length but also the state of the receivers and the tuning latency, the proposed protocol can reduce the average delay of the network greatly. This paper also introduces a new channel assignment technique latency minimizing scheduling (LMS), which aims to reduce the scheduling latency. We evaluate the proposed algorithm, using extensive discrete-event simulations, by comparing its performance with shortest job first (SJF) algorithm. We find that significant improvement in average delay could be achieved by MFTS algorithm. By combining the proposed message sequencing technique with the channel selection technique, the performance of the optical network could be further improved.

Multicasting is an efficient way of group communications because one sender can transmit data to multiple receivers with only one transmission. Furthermore, multicasting is considered an appropriate transmission method for multimedia services. Multimedia applications are expected to become more prevalent over mobile ad-hoc networks in the near future. Therefore, achieving reliability in multimedia communications is an important task. In this paper, we propose a leader-based reliable multicast medium access control layer protocol for multimedia applications to enhance video quality. We present a Markov chain model and numerical formulation of our proposed system.

Recent advances in cognitive radio technology have drawn immense attention to higher layer protocols above medium access control, such as transmission control protocol (TCP). Most proposals to improve the TCP performance in cognitive radio (CR) networks have assumed that either all nodes are in CR networks or the TCP sender side is in CR links. In those proposals, lower layer information such as the CR link status could be easily exploited to adjust the congestion window and improve throughput. In this paper, we consider a TCP network in which the TCP sender is located remotely over the Internet while the TCP receiver is connected by a CR link. This topology is more realistic than the earlier proposals, but the lower layer information cannot be exploited. Under this assumption, we propose an enhanced TCP protocol for CR networks called TCP for cognitive radio (TCP-CR) to improve the existing TCP by (1) detection of primary user (PU) interference by a remote sender without support from lower layers, (2) delayed congestion control (DCC) based on PU detection when the retransmission timeout (RTO) expires, and (3) exploitation of two separate scales of the congestion window adapted for PU activity. Performance evaluation demonstrated that the proposed TCP-CR achieves up to 255% improvement of the end-to-end throughput. Furthermore, we verified that the proposed TCP does not deteriorate the fairness of existing TCP flows and does not cause congestions.

In this paper, we propose a novel energy efficient MAC protocol which is based on orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) and exploits the physical characteristic that propagation loss of acoustic wave depends on the distance. In the proposed scheme, sensor nodes are grouped according to the distance to sink node. Then, each group uses a different frequency band. The proposed scheme not only enables all sensor nodes to maintain the signal-to-noise ratio above a certain required level (Accepted Minimum SNR, AMS), but also reduces overall transmission power consumption. In addition, the dynamic sub-channel allocation is employed in order to improve data transmission rate. Simulations show that proposed MAC protocol has better performance in a delay-tolerant underwater acoustic sensor networks.

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.
