Abstract

Nowadays, many WLAN access points (APs) are deployed in hotspot areas such as shopping malls and stations. As the number of WLAN APs deployed increases, how to manage densely deployed APs in an efficient manner becomes one of the most important issues in WLANs. In this environment, uncoordinated multicast services can lead to frequent collisions due to simultaneous transmissions among APs. In this paper, we propose a multicast scheduling algorithm that can exploit simultaneous transmissions in multiple sectors and avoid redundant transmissions in dense networks. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can reduce the multicast transmission latency compared to comparison scheduling schemes.

최근 무선 디바이스의 증가와 무선랜 사용자가 급증하면서 다수의 AP와 여러 노드가 존재하는 밀집 네트워크 환경이 발생한다. 다수의 AP가 존재하는 환경에서 중첩영역에 대한 고려 없이 멀티캐스트 데이터를 전송할 경우 노드의 위치에 따라서 메시지 중복 수신과 빈번한 데이터 충돌이 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 밀집 무선랜 시스템에 적합한 새로운 멀티캐스트 전송 스케줄링 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 멀티캐스트 전송 기법은 단일 전송환경과 다중 전송 환경을 모두 고려하며 각 AP의 최적의 전송 순서를 스케줄링 함으로써 불필요한 중복전송을 제거하고 데이터 충돌을 방지한다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통하여 제안하는 기법이 비교 기법들에 비해서 전송시간이 감소하고, 밀집 네트워크 환경에서 효율적인 멀티캐스트 전송을 하는 것을 확인할 수 있다.
