In this paper, a performance comparison of dynamic TDMA and fixed TDMA in tactical data link system is conducted. The performance metric include: delay, queue size and system throughput. To perform comparison of two TDMA schemes, we adopt the modified M/D/1 queueing model. Computer simulation is also performed to verify conducted analytical results.

Link-16 is a widely used TDL (Tactical Data Link) which uses TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access). Link-16 is a very low rate system, so it supports small size of data like tactical message and voice. However, there are related works to transmit situation awareness information like image due to the increasing interest about EBO(Effect-Based Operation), recently. Special TDMA scheduling is needed not static TDMA of Link-16 for image transmission because image data has much larger size than the existing tactical data. In this paper, we proposed Link-16K which enhances the Link-16 MAC. The proposed Link-16K is compatible with Link-16, and includes dynamic TDMA, new packing method, and an efficient retransmission scheme for image transmission effectively. We can see that image transmission delay is reduced and channel utilization is increased through simulation results of proposed idea.

To prepare for the network centric warfare, Korea Joint Tactical Data Link System(KJTDLS) has been developed by the South Korean military recently and its development is divided into two phases: basic and complete ones. Due to the limited bandwidth and low transmission efficiency of the developing KJTDLS (basic), lots of problems could be occurred when the TDMA protocol in Link-16 is applied. In this paper, a new dynamic TDMA frame structure for KJTDLS(basic) is proposed and the performance of the proposed is evaluated through the implementation of simulation.

In this paper, we analyze the performances of variable MAC (Medium Access Control) protocols and present an efficient MAC protocol for Ethernet PON (Passive Optical Network). We consider three MAC protocols: static TDMA, dynamic TDMA, and Interleaved polling. Static TDMA assigns an equal amount of bandwidth to all ONUs regardless of the request information but Dynamic TDMA dynamically allocates the bandwidth to each ONU considering its request. Interleaved Polling operates a cycle with variable time period and a polling method for informing a uplink transmission chance to each ONU. This paper theoretically analyzes the available bandwidth for each of three protocols. We also implement the simulation models for them by using OPNET and evaluates the performances under various bursty traffic environments. The results are compared and analyzed in terms of channel utilization and queueing delay.

The medium access control (MAC) protocol based on dynamic time division multiple access/time division duplex (TDMA/TDD) is responsible for random access control and radio resource allocation in dynamic traffic environments. These functions of random access and resource allocation are very important to prevent wastage of resources and improve MAC performance according to various network conditions. In this paper, we propose new random access and resource allocation schemes to guarantee quality of service (QoS) and provide priority services in a dynamic TDMA/TDD system. First, for the QoS guarantee, we propose an adaptive random access and resource allocation scheme by introducing an access probability. Second, for providing priority service, we propose a priority-based random access and resource allocation scheme by extending the first adaptive scheme in both a centralized and a distributed manner. The analysis and simulation results show that the proposed MAC protocol outperforms the legacy MAC protocol using a simple binary exponential backoff algorithm, and provides good differential performance according to priorities with respect to the throughput and delay.

In this paper, we develope the simulation model for Ethernet passive optical networks (Ethernet-PON) by using OPNET. Ethernet-PON is an emerging access network technology that provides a low-cost method of deploying optical access lines. The simulator uses a Request/Grant TDMA MAC protocol based on IEEE 802.3ah EFM. It also executes registration, ranging and dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm by exchanging control packets between OLT and ONUs. We have evaluated for success ratio of initial registration process and delay of late registration process. We also have simulated for dynamic TDMA protocol and static TDMA protocol in terms of channel utilization and queueing delay. We expect that this simulator can help to determine various parameters which are considered for designing Ethernet-PON system.

In this paper, we have compared the performance of a D-TDMA protocol with that of a CDMA protocol, in radio access system for integrated voice/data services.The D-TDMA protocol is based on a generic dynamic channel assignment approach to be followed a combination of “circuit mode” reservation for voice calls, along with dynamic first-come-first served assignment of remaining capacity for data messages. In the CDMA protocol, we have used the voice activity detection to reduce the interface power of other mobiles in internal and external cells, and analyzed the interference power ratio. Also we have computed BER(Bit Error Rate) by using this interference power ratio and evaluated voice blocking probability(voice packet loss probability) and data transmission delay, according to average data length and average data arrival rate.We have found the CDMA protocol achieves comparatively higher performance for short data length, regardless of data arrival rate. Otherwise, the data transmission delay of D-TDMA protocol is shorter than that of the CDMA protocol for long data message.

In this paper, a channel access control algorithm and a slot allocation algorithm are proposed as MAC protocol for multimedia services in TDMA/TDD-based wireless ATM networks. In the proposed protocol, VBR terminals that require real-time services transmit a reservation request through a random access minislot. VBR terminals, which are successfully transmitted the reservation request, transmits the dynamic parameters through a dynamic parameter minislot without contention. On the other hand, ABR terminals transmit a reservation request with contention basis whenever a non-real-time traffic burst is generated. Based on the received dynamic parameters and the number of requested slots, the base station scheduler allocates a dynamic parameter minislot as well as uplink data slots into VBR terminals. Also the scheduler allocates uplink data slots into ABR terminals in proportion to the number of requested slots.

Underwater wireless network can be useful in various fields such as underwater environment observation, catastrophe prevention, ocean resources exploration, ocean organism research, and vessel sinking exploration. We need to develop an efficient design for Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol to improve multiple data communication in underwater environment. Aloha protocol is one of the basic and simple protocols, but it has disadvantage such as collision occurs oftenly in communication. If there is collision occured in RF communication, problem can be solved by re-sending the data, but using low frequency in underwater, the re-transmission has difficulties due to slow bit-rate. So, Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) based MAC protocol is going to be used to avoid collisions, but if there is no data to send in existing TDMA, time slot should not be used. Therefore, this paper proposes dynamic TDMA protocol mechanism with reducing the time slots by sending short "I Have No Data" (IHND) message, if there is no data to transmit. Also, this paper presents mathematic analysis model in relation to data throughput, channel efficiency and verifies performance superiority by comparing the existing TDMA protocols.

본 논문에서는 MF-TDMA(Multiple Frequency - Time Division Multiple Access) 방식을 이용하는 위성 시스템의 위성 자원 효율을 높이기 위한 동적 MF-TDMA 프레이밍 기법을 제안한다. DVB-RCS (Digital Video Broadcasting - Return Channel via Satellite)은 감우감쇠를 극복하기 위해 ACM (Adaptive Coding and Modulation) 기법을 사용한다. MF-TDMA에서는 하나의 채널이 동일한 ACM 모드를 지원하기 때문에 사용자의 채널 상태와 요청량을 고려하여 실제로 요구되는 ACM 모드를 지원하는 채널의 수를 계산한다. 모의실험을 통해 채널 상태 변화를 고려하지 않은 정적인 방식에 비해 제안하는 동적인 방식의 위성 자원 효율이 증가한 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
