This paper analyses the message complexity of TDMA ad hoc MAC protocols. Since the network resource of ad hoc networks is limited due to the multiple interferences and the contention-based wireless channel, the scalability issue is one of the main research topics in developing ad hoc algorithms. Simulation demonstrates that SMACS protocol has the lowest message complexity, whereas TMMAC has the highest. In addition, it is found that since the effect of unicast dominates in the message complexity compared to other factors with an increasing number of nodes, Z-MAC tends to have the property of linearity, whereas BMA and TMMAC show exponential increases in their complexities.

Recently, several MAC protocols using the directional antennas have been proposed for wireless mobile ad hoc networks. In the theory, it can improve spatial reuse and communication throughput in the Mobile Ad-hoc networks. But, or However even though direction transmissions using the Directional MAC protocol(D-MAC) are expected to provide significant improvements, they causes other problems such as deafness problem and fairness problem. In this paper, we analyze the D-MAC protocol in Mobile Ad-hoc network for Vehicle to vehicle(V2V) communication. Through the results of the analysis, We the fundamental problem of D-MAC protocol and finally we suggest new D-MAC protocol for V2V networks.

Ad hoc network is a wireless network without fixed base stations or any wired backbone infrastructure. In the DUDMAC protocol, ORTS and OCTS in control channel solve the problem of deafness and DDATA and DACK in data channel improve spatial reuse by using the efficient blocking algorithm for directional antennas. In this paper, we propose the PCDUDMAC (Power Controlled DUDMAC) protocols. In the PCDUDMAC protocol, the power control of DATA/DACK in data channel saves transmission power and improves spatial reuse. We confirm the throughput performance of the proposed MAC protocol by computer simulations using Qualnet ver.3.8 simulator.

Using directional antenna in wireless network can offer many advantages including significant decrease of interference, increase of spatial reuse and possibility of improving network capacity. However, existing 802.11 MAC is designed for use of omni-directional antenna then those advantages can not be shown in that MAC protocol when it uses directional antenna. In this paper, we present a MAC protocol specifically designed for directional antenna to achieve spatial reuse and improve capacity of MAC protocol. Simulation result shows the advantages of our proposal in comparison with existing MAC in terms of end-to-end delay and network throughput.

Being different from traditional mobile communication networks or wireless LAN with access points, ad hoc network can provide direct communications between homogeneous stations. Thus, it can be considered as a much advanced network. Somehow, many researches have been done to enhance system performance of ad hoc networks up to now, one of which is cooperative communications. In this paper, a cooperative MAC protocol, called CO-MAC protocol, is proposed and its performance is evaluated with a mathematical approach. Numerical results show that this scheme provides more enhanced system throughput especially when frame transmission error probability is high than DCF scheme, which is the key protocol in IEEE 802.11 standard, and rDCF scheme.

본 논문에서는 Ad hoc 망에서 오류 발생률에 적응적인 LLC와 MAC 프로토콜은 설계하였다. 이 프로토콜은 무선 링크상에서 수신자의 피드백 정보에 의존한다. LLC 계층에서는 피드백 정보에 따라 적합한 FEC를 선택하여 부호화하고 MAC 계층에서는 이를 뒷받침하기 위해 오류 발생 패킷에 대한 새로운 재전송 메커니즘을 사용한다. 결과적으로 시간에 따라 변화하는 채널 환경에 적응하여 성공적으로 패킷을 전송함으로써 패킷 전달 지연시간을 단축시키고 제한된 채널의 대역폭을 효과적으로 사용한다.

In this paper we proposed a new MAC protocol to improve QoS(Quality of Service) for real-time traffic in wireless Ad Hoc networks. NMAC protocol have a contention period reservation scheme and a priority control scheme to provide fairness of nodes and QoS. Through simulation, the NMAC protocol compared with existing CSMA MAC protocols shows improvement in performance.

In cognitive radio networks (CRNs), unlicensed users sense the licensed spectrum bands and opportunistically access them without interfering operations of licensed users. Especially, in ad hoc networks, the MAC layer plays an important role in coordinating unlicensed users access to the spectrum and, thus, a number of MAC protocols have been studied recently. In this paper, we comparatively examine MAC protocols in cognitive radio ad hoc networks (CRAHNs). First, we categorize the protocols on the basis of common control channel (CCC) requirements and further review major implementations for each category. Then, we make a qualitative comparison of the protocols in terms of inherent characteristics and performance.

This paper presents the design of a reservation-based MAC protocol to support multimedia traffic over mobile ad-hoc networks and evaluates its performance. Our MAC protocol is based on a hierarchical approach consisting of two sub-layers. The lower sub-layer of the MAC protocol with reservation provides a fundamental access method using CSMA/CA in order to support asynchronous data traffic over mobile ad-hoc networks. The upper sub-layer supports real-time periodic data by making a slot reservation before transmitting actual data. The proposed protocol has been validated through simulations using ns-2. The results show that the proposed MAC protocol can offer higher throughput and lower delay than standard implementations of the IEEE 802.11.
