Abstract

In this paper, for the WiMedia Distributed Medium Access Control (D-MAC) protocol based on UWB. performance degradation due to the Distributed Reservation Protocol (DRP) conflict problem caused by devices' mobility is analyzed. And a DRP relay protocol and a DRP conflict resolution (CR) are proposed to overcome the performance degradation at DRP conflicts. In order to give the loser device at DRP conflicts a chance to maintain resources, the proposed DRP relay protocol executed at each device helps the loser device reserve an indirect link maintaining the required resources via a relay node. Simulation results considering the mobile environment have indicated that the DRP relay combined with the CR prevent the throughput decrease even though mobility of devices increases.

본 논문에서는 UWB 기술 기반 WiMedia Distributed Medium Access Control (D-MAC) 프로토콜에서, 디바이스들의 이동성으로 인해 발생하는 Distributed Reservation Protocol (DRP) 예약 충돌 현상을 분석한다. 그리고 DRP 예약 충돌 시 발생하는 성능 저하를 감소시키기 위해 Conflict Resolution (CR) 방식과 DRP 릴레이 기술을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 DRP 릴레이 프로토콜은 충돌대상 디바이스에게 예약된 자원을 유지할 수 있도록, DRP 예약 충돌 시 릴레이 노드를 경유하여 다른 Indirect Link 링크를 빠르게 예약할 수 있는 분산적인 자원 예약 프로토콜을 제안한다. 이동성 환경을 고려한 시뮬레이션 결과는 CR 기술과 함께 DRP 릴레이 기술을 적용하여, 디바이스들의 이동성이 증가하더라도 수율 감소를 방지할 수 있음을 나타내었다.
