Self-adaptive transmission scheme of integrated services over an IEEE 802.11 WLAN

A novel self-adaptive transmission scheme to support integrated data and voice transmission over an IEEE 802.11 WLAN is proposed. The simulation results show that the scheme can improve the data traffic performance and decrease efficiently the voice traffic delay jitter, and then increase the WLAN capacity. It is easy to realise as no change in the MAC protocol is required.     

A novel self‐adaptive transmission scheme over an IEEE 802.11 WLAN for supporting multi‐service

The IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN) media access control (MAC) specification is a hybrid protocol of random access and polling when both distributed coordination function (DCF) and point coordination function (PCF) are used. Data traffic is transmitted with the DCF, while voice transmission is carried out with the PCF. Based on the performance analysis of the MAC protocol for integrated data and voice transmission by simulation, this paper puts forward a self‐adaptive transmission scheme to support multi‐service over the IEEE 802.11 WLAN. The simulation results show that, on the premise of satisfying the maximum allowable delay of packet voice, the self‐adaptive transmission scheme can improve the data traffic performance and increase the WLAN capacity through dynamic and appropriate adjustment of the protocol parameters. Especially, voice traffic is sensitive to delay jitter, and the self‐adaptive scheme can effectively decrease it. Finally, it is worth noting that the adaptive scheme is easy to be realized, whereas no change in the MAC protocol is needed. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A Distributed Mechanism for Power Saving in IEEE 802.11 Wireless LANs

The finite battery power of mobile computers represents one of the greatest limitations to the utility of portable computers. Furthermore, portable computers often need to perform power consuming activities, such as transmitting and receiving data by means of a random-access, wireless channel. The amount of power consumed to transfer the data on the wireless channel is negatively affected by the channel congestion level, and significantly depends on the MAC protocol adopted. This paper illustrates the design and the performance evaluation of a new mechanism that, by controlling the accesses to the shared transmission channel of a wireless LAN, leads each station to an optimal Power Consumption level. Specifically, we considered the Standard IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) access scheme for WLANs. For this protocol we analytically derived the optimal average Power Consumption levels required for a frame transmission. By exploiting these analytical results, we define a Power Save, Distributed Contention Control (PS-DCC) mechanism that can be adopted to enhance the performance of the Standard IEEE 802.11 DCF protocol from a power saving standpoint. The performance of an IEEE 802.11 network enhanced with the PS-DCC mechanism has been investigated by simulation. Results show that the enhanced protocol closely approximates the optimal power consumption level, and provides a channel utilization close to the theoretical upper bound for the IEEE 802.11 protocol capacity. In addition, even in low load situations, the enhanced protocol does not introduce additional overheads with respect to the standard protocol.     

Infrastructure-based MAC in wireless mobile ad-hoc networks

The IEEE 802.11 standard is the most popular Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for wireless local area networks. However, in an ad-hoc environment, the Point Coordination Function (PCF), defined in the standard, cannot be readily used. This is due to the fact that there is no central authority to act as a Point Coordinator (PC). Peer-to-peer ad-hoc mode in the IEEE 802.11 standard only implements the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF). In this paper, an efficient and on-the-fly infrastructure is created using our proposed Mobile Point Coordinator (MPC) protocol. Based on this protocol, we also develop an efficient MAC protocol, namely MPC–MAC. Our MAC protocol extends the IEEE 802.11 standard for use in multi-hop wireless ad-hoc networks implementing both the DCF and PCF modes of operation. The goal, and also the challenge, is to achieve QoS delivery and priority access for real-time traffic in ad-hoc wireless environments while maintaining backward compatibility with the IEEE 802.11 standard. The performance of MPC–MAC is compared to the IEEE 802.11 DCF-based MAC without MPC. Simulation experiments show that in all cases the use of PCF benefits real-time packets by decreasing the average delay and the discard ratio. However, this may come at the expense of increasing the average delay for non-real-time data. On the other hand, the discard ratio for both real-time and non-real-time packets improves with the use of PCF. Therefore, our MPC–MAC outperforms the standard DCF IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol in multi-hop ad-hoc environments.     

Optimal frame aggregation level for IEEE 802.11 PCF protocol

In this paper, we analyze the effect of the frame aggregation level on the PCF (Point Coordination Function) MAC performance in IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs and analytically derive the optimal frame aggregation level for maximizing the PCF MAC performance. For various values of unit data frame size and transmission error probability, we propose the optimal frame aggregation levels. By computer simulations, we show that the derived optimal frame aggregation level significantly enhances the PCF MAC performance in IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs.     

A delay based backoff scheme for WLAN with QoS guarantee and its performance

Based on the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) and the Enhanced DCF (EDCF) mechanisms in IEEE 802.11 and 802.11e, a novel backoff scheme for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is proposed. The scheme is to solve the problem of the packet loss and the decrease of performance due to the increasing Contention Window (CW) when there are continuous collisions. In the proposed scheme, the CW of the packet will change dynamically with different delay for the different traffics. Mathematic formulas are presented to indicate the relationship between the CW and the delay character. The performance of the new scheme is also discussed with simulation results. The results show that it helps WLAN system handle multimedia simultaneously.     

A DUAL RESERVATION CDMA-BASED MAC PROTOCOL WITH POWER CONTROL FOR AD HOC NETWORKS

The code channel is divided into common channel, broadcast channel and several data channels. And dynamic power control mechanism is implemented to reduce near-far interference. Compared with IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function （DCF） protocol, the results show that the proposed mechanism improves the average throughput and limits the transmission delay efficiently.     

DCF传输MPEG-4视频流的研究

IEEE 802.11无线局域网的基本接入方式是分布式协调功能(DCF)。当无线局域网中的负载变大时,采用DCF的站点可能在成功发送之前需要延迟几秒以上。这将严重影响MPEG-4视频流等实时应用的性能。该文针对实时应用提出了一种DCF的改进机制L-DCF,并介绍了在L-DCF下如何传输MPEG-4视频流。仿真结果表明,与DCF相比,采用L-DCF的MPEG-4视频流将经历较少的时延和抖动,同时又具有与采用DCF时相同的吞吐量与公平性,因此能够获得更好的播放质量。

The proposed scheme adapts the power-saved mode of the IEEE 802.11 specifications in such a way that it approaches the TDM access mode carrying voice traffic, and is compatible with the IEEE 802.11 standard. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme does not degrade the performance of the IEEE 802.11 WLAN using the DCF and also provides good voice quality
