A pipelined multiplier-accumulator using a high-speed, low-powerstatic and dynamic full adder design

This paper proposes a new pipelined full-adder circuit structure for the implementation of pipelined arithmetic modules. With both static and dynamic structures, it has the advantages of high operational speed, smallest transistor count, and the low power/speed ratio. The adder cell is then used to design a pipelined 8×8-b multiplier-accumulator (MAC). In this MAC, a special pipelined structure is designed to reduce the latency. The MAC is fabricated in a 0.8-μm single-poly-double-metal CMOS process. The post-layout simulation shows that the pipelined 1-b full adder can work up to 350 MHz with a 3 V power supply. The whole MAC chip that contains 4200 transistors is measured to operate a 125 MHz using 3.3 V power supply     

Power Control for Distributed MAC Protocols in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

In centralized wireless networks, reducing the transmission power normally leads to higher network transport throughput. In this paper, we investigate power control in a different scenario, where the network adopts distributed MAC layer coordination mechanisms. We first consider widely adopted RTS/CTS based MAC protocols. We show that an optimal power control protocol should use higher transmission power than the "just enough" power in order to improve spatial utilization. The optimal protocol has a minimal transmission floor area of Theta(d_{ij}d_{max}), where d_{max} is the maximal transmission range and d_{ij} is the link length. This surprisingly implies that if a long link is broken into several short links, then the sum of the transmission floors reserved by the short links is still comparable to that reserved by the long link. Thus, using short links does not necessarily lead to higher throughput. Another consequence of this is that, with the optimal RTS/CTS based MAC, rate control can at best provide a factor of 2 improvement in transport throughput. We then extend our results to other distributed MAC protocols which uses physical carrier sensing or busy-tone as the control signal. Our simulation results show that the optimal power controlled scheme outperforms other popular MAC layer power control protocols.     

一种高效低时延的宽带电力线通信网多跳MAC协议

针对IEEE1901.1宽带电力线通信媒体接入控制(Medium Access Control,MAC)协议涉及到信标时隙利用不充分和控制开销过大等问题,提出了一种高效低时延的宽带电力线通信网多跳MAC协议(Efficient and Low Delay Multi-hop MAC,ELDM-MAC).采用基于节点层级号的信标时隙分配机制,根据邻居表和时隙分配信息计算能够提前进入到载波监听多路访问时隙(Carrier Sense Multiple Access,CSMA)的时间,减少了信标时隙的浪费,提高了信道利用率;同时采用基于拓扑信息的信标帧高效广播机制,删除不大于自身层级号的节点和大于且在两跳范围内的非子孙节点的时隙分配信息,降低了网络控制开销.仿真结果表明,ELDM-MAC协议在信道利用率、平均时延和控制开销等方面都优于IEEE1901.1 MAC协议,更适用于宽带电力线通信网络的实际应用场景.

Directional MAC and routing schemes for power controlled Wireless Mesh Networks with adaptive antennas

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have emerged recently as a technology for next-generation wireless networking. Several approaches that exploit directional and adaptive antennas have been proposed in the literature to increase the performance of WMNs. However, while adaptive antennas can improve the wireless medium utilization by reducing radio interference and the impact of the exposed nodes problem, they can also exacerbate the hidden nodes problem. Therefore, efficient MAC protocols are needed to fully exploit the features offered by adaptive antennas. Furthermore, routing protocols that were designed for omnidirectional communications can be redesigned to exploit directional transmissions and the cross-layer interaction between the MAC and the network layer.In this paper we first propose a novel Power-Controlled Directional MAC protocol (PCD-MAC) for adaptive antennas. PCD-MAC uses the standard RTS–CTS–DATA–ACK exchange procedure. The novel difference is the transmission of the RTS and CTS packets in all directions with a tunable power while the DATA and ACK are transmitted directionally at the minimal required power.We then propose the Directional Deflection Routing (DDR), a routing algorithm that exploits multiple paths towards the destination based on the MAC layer indication on channel availability in different directions.We measure the performance of PCD-MAC and DDR by simulation of several realistic network scenarios, and we compare them with other approaches proposed in the literature. The results show that our schemes increase considerably both the total traffic accepted by the network and the fairness among competing connections.

Multi‐channel power‐controlled directional MAC for wireless mesh networks

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have emerged recently as a technology for providing high‐speed last mile connectivity in next‐generation wireless networks. Several MAC protocols that exploit multiple channels and directional antennas have been proposed in the literature to increase the performance of WMNs. However, while these techniques can improve the wireless medium utilization by reducing radio interference and the impact of the exposed nodes problem, they can also exacerbate the hidden nodes problem. Therefore, efficient MAC protocols need to be carefully designed to fully exploit the features offered by multiple channels and directional antennas. In this paper we propose a novel Multi‐Channel Power‐Controlled Directional MAC protocol (MPCD‐MAC) for nodes equipped with multiple network interfaces and directional antennas. MPCD‐MAC uses the standard RTS‐CTS‐DATA‐ACK exchange procedure. The novel difference is the transmission of the RTS and CTS packets in all directions on a separate control channel, while the DATA and ACK packets are transmitted only directionally on an available data channel at the minimum required power, taking into account the interference generated on already active connections. This solution spreads the information on wireless medium reservation (RTS/CTS) to the largest set of neighbors, while data transfers take place directionally on separate channels to increase spatial reuse. Furthermore, power control is used to limit the interference produced over active nodes. We measure the performance of MPCD‐MAC by simulation of several realistic network scenarios, and we compare it with other approaches proposed in the literature. The results show that our scheme increases considerably both the total traffic accepted by the network and the fairness among competing connections. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
