Abstract

The deployment density of AP increases as well as the density WLAN stations due to increase of WLAN use and the real performance of WLAN is degraded. To improve the performance, there are many PHY/MAC technologies and OFDMA and full duplex are promising technologies among them. In conventional OFDMA WLAN MAC relate works, there are some limitations in terms of channel utilization and collision probability. Thus, it need to research for effective channel allocation protocol. Full duplex can transmit data on the same time and same frequency resource so it can allocate channel more flexible than half duplex. In this paper, we prose the OFDMA FD-MAC(Full Duplex MAC) protocol that it allocates the sub-channels based on the idle channel information for full duplex pair. In addition, it shows the throughput improvement by performance analysis.

무선랜 이용률 증가에 따라 무선랜 단말뿐만 아니라 AP의 밀집도가 증가하고 있고, 이로 인해 무선랜의 실제 성능(real performance)이 저하되고 있다. 이를 개선하기 위한 PHY/MAC 기술 중 OFDMA와 full duplex가 있다. 기존 OFDMA기반 무선랜 MAC 연구는 채널 utilization과 충돌확률 측면에서의 문제점이 있고 따라서 보다 효율적인 채널할당 프로토콜에 대한 연구가 필요하다. Full duplex는 같은 주파수에 동시에 송수신이 가능한 방식으로 half duplex에 비해 더 유연한 채널할당이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 full duplex 전송 노드의 idle 채널정보를 바탕으로 서브 채널을 할당하는 OFDMA FD-MAC(Full Duplex MAC) 프로토콜을 제안하였다. 또한, 성능분석을 통해 throughput이 개선됨을 확인하였다.
