无线局域网(WLAN)和无线个域网(WPAN)技术的发展带来的多媒体业务流量的剧增,使无线网络的资源管理、服务质量(QoS)保障等问题日益突出。传统的媒体访问控制(MAC)协议需要重新设计才能对无线网络的QoS问题进行有效地解决。文中研究了IEEEWLAN和WPAN工作组分别于2002年5月和2003年2月提出的IEEE802.11eD3.0和IEEE802.15.3D16两种协议标准的工作机制并对两者的性能作出了比较分析。     

太赫兹无线局域网MAC协议优化设计

太赫兹网络中基于中继的高效双信道MAC协议

现有的太赫兹无线个域网双信道介质访问控制(MAC)协议工作在WiFi和太赫兹信道。由于这两种信道的频率相差极大,导致使用全向天线和定向天线的覆盖范围各不相同,这样便会使节点之间的消息传输成功率大大降低,同时也降低了网络整体的吞吐量。另外,在现有的太赫兹无线网络双信道MAC协议中还存在一定的冗余控制开销,这导致了信道利用率低。基于此,文章提出一种太赫兹无线网络中基于中继的高效双信道MAC协议(HE-BRMAC),HE-BRMAC分为中继辅助和自适应减少控制开销机制。通过这两种机制可达到提高消息传输成功率、提升网络整体吞吐量、减少控制开销和提高信道利用率的效果,尤其当节点数较多时,HE-BRMAC的效果更为显著。     

Novel MAC protocol for terahertz ultra-high data-rate wireless networks

Due to having a large bandwidth to support Gbps-level data rate, terahertz communication attracts more and more attention in recent years. However, there are few medium access control （MAC） protocols for terahertz ultra-high data-rate wireless networks, which affects the research and application of terahertz communications. To address this problem and to achieve ultra-high data-rate wireless access with terahertz communication, a novel MAC protocol, called medium access control for terahertz communication （MAC-TC）, is proposed. Through designing a new channel access scheme, a new superframe structure, and related key parameters, MAC-TC can support a maximum data rate up to 10 Gbit/s even higher. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that our proposed MAC protocol realizes the function of medium access control and attains a maximum data rate of 18.3 Gbit/s, which is 2 times higher than 5.78 Gbit/s, the theoretical maximum data rate of IEEE 802.15.3c standard.     

A MAC layer protocol for wireless networks with asymmetric links

We introduce AsyMAC, a MAC layer protocol for wireless networks with asymmetric links and study a protocol stack consisting of AsyMAC and the A⁴LP routing protocol. The two protocols are able to maintain connectivity where the standard IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol coupled with either AODV or OLSR routing protocols may loose connectivity. A comparative study shows that AsyMAC improves on two previously proposed protocols’ accuracy in determining the nodes to be silenced to prevent collisions.     

Feedback-assisted MAC protocol for real time traffic in high rate wireless personal area networks

During the past decade, there has been much standardization effort for indoor or shot-range networks, as communication devices and applications for such networks populate. As a prominent example of these activities, the IEEE 802.15.3 Task Group (TG) published a standard for high-rate wireless personal area network (HR-WPAN). To support strictly timed multimedia services, the TG adopts a time-slotted channel access protocol controlled by a central device (DEV). Although the channel time allocation algorithm plays a key role in deciding the network performance, it remains unspecified in the standard. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a novel feedback-assisted channel time allocation method for HR-WPAN. After initial channel times are allocated based on packet inter-arrival time statistics, the allocation is dynamically adjusted by utilizing feedback information from each DEV. The feedback information includes the buffer status, the packet transmission delay, and the physical transmission rate. By utilizing this feedback information, the central DEV can allocate sufficient channel time for transmissions of pending packets from a DEV. Moreover, the allocated channel times can be synchronized to the packet arrival times so that the overall transmission delay is reduced. To cope with time-varying wireless channels, a dynamic rate selection algorithm assisted by physical layer information is proposed in this paper. Performance evaluation is carried out through extensive simulations, from which significant performance enhancements are observed.     

Selfish MAC layer misbehavior in wireless networks

Wireless medium access control (MAC) protocols such as IEEE 802.11 use distributed contention resolution mechanisms for sharing the wireless channel. In this environment, selfish hosts that fail to adhere to the MAC protocol may obtain an unfair throughput share. For example, IEEE 802.11 requires hosts competing for access to the channel to wait for a "backoff" interval, randomly selected from a specified range/before initiating a transmission. Selfish hosts may wait for smaller backoff intervals than well-behaved hosts, thereby obtaining an unfair advantage. We present modifications to the IEEE 802.11 protocol to simplify detection of such selfish hosts and analyze the optimality of the chosen strategy. We also present a penalty scheme for punishing selfish misbehavior. We develop two misbehavior models to capture the behavior of misbehaving hosts. Simulation results under these misbehavior models indicate that our detection and penalty schemes are successful in handling MAC layer misbehavior.     

Enhanced cooperative MAC for wireless local area networks

A novel network protocol,enhanced cooperative medium access control(ECoop MAC),is present in this article.Its function is to guarantee the quality of service(QoS)in wireless local area networks.For the sake of supporting different application scenarios,two proposed schemes,namely E-scheme I for lower priority traffic and E-scheme II for higher priority traffic can be adopted independently or in combination.ECoop MAC takes into account request failure problems,and utilizes cooperative protocol information to boost the system performance as well as to effectively cut control packets overhead.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can not only improve network throughput,but also lead to reduced network delays for individual packets.

An efficient packet sensing MAC protocol for wireless networks

The Group Allocation Multiple Access with Packet-Sensing (GAMA-PS) protocol for scheduling real-time and datagram traffic in a wireless LAN is specified and analyzed. By maintaining a dynamically-sized cycle that changes in length depending on the amount of network traffic, GAMA-PS is able to efficiently control channel access while ensuring that there are no collisions of data packets. Each cycle contains a contention period and a group-transmission period; a station with data to send competes for membership in the “transmission group” by using packet sensing to successfully complete an RTS/CTS message exchange during the contention period. Once a station is a member of the transmission group, it is able to transmit a collision-free data packet during each cycle; as long as a station has data to send, it maintains its position in the group. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
