Most wireless ad hoc networks use sender-centric carrier sensing where a data sender determines the transmission timing through channel assessment. However, sender-centric carrier sensing suffers from both exposed and hidden terminal problems even with physical and virtual carrier sensing. In this paper, we propose a new receiver-centric carrier sense (RCS) technique where a data receiver triggers packet transmission based on local channel assessment. Through both numerical analysis and simulation studies, we show that the proposed RCS achieves up to 20.9% higher throughput than previous receiver-centric approaches.

This paper proposes a new algorithm for opportunistic scheduling that take advantage of both multiuser diversity and power control. Motivated by the multicast RTS and priority-based CTS mechanism of OSMA protocol, we propose an opportunistic packet scheduling with power control scheme based on IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol. The scheduling scheme chooses the best candidate receiver for transmission by considering the SINR at the nodes. This mechanism ensures that the transmission would be successful. The power control algorithm on the other hand, helps reduce interference between links and could maximize spatial reuse of the bandwidth. We then formulate a convex optimization problem for minimizing power consumption and maximizing net utility of the system. We showed that if a transmission power vector satisfying the maximum transmission power and SINR constraints of all nodes exist, then there exists an optimal solution that minimizes overall transmission power and maximizes utility of the system.

In this paper, we present an effective cross layer-based video transmission algorithm over multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks. The proposed algorithm selects the most efficient PHY mode of wireless LAN multi-rate service at each node in a distributed way based on the available information at application, MAC, and physical layers in order to minimize end-to-end delay and maintain packet loss rate in tolerable range at the receiver. Finally, experimental results are provided to show superior performance of the proposed algorithm.

The characteristics of ad hoc networks, such as the absence of infrastructure, a dynamic topology, a shared wireless medium and a resource-constrained environment pose various security challenges. Most previous studies focused on the detection of misbehavior after it had occurred. However, in this paper we propose a new way of thinking to evade the occurrence of misbehavior. In our scheme, we firstly present a clustering algorithm that employs a powerful analytic hierarchy process methodology to elect a clusterhead for each cluster. The clusterhead in each cluster is then allowed to assign the backoff values to its members, i.e., originators, rather than permitting the originators to choose the backoff values by themselves. Through this media access control layer misbehavior detection mechanism, the misuse of the backoff in the media access control layer in the 802.11 distributed coordination function can be detected.

To cope with channel variation, wireless networks such as IEEE 802.11 WLAN provide multiple transmission rates by employing different channel modulation and coding schemes. However, the coexistence of different transmission rates degrades the total system performance of the network. In order to eliminate this performance abnormality and improve protocol capacity, we propose a new Packet transmission algorithm, the RAT(Rate-Adapted Transmission) scheme. The RAT scheme distributes the wireless channel fairly based on the channel occupancy time. Moreover, it efficiently transmits packets even in a single station using rate-based queue management. Therefore, the RAT scheme obtains not only the inter-rate contention gain among stations but also the intra-rate contention gain among connections in a single station.

In this paper we propose the Digital Automatic Gain Controller for IEEE 802.11a-High-speed Physical Layer in the 5 GHz Band. The input gain it estimated by calculating the energy of the training symbol that it a synchronizing signal. The renewal gain is calculated by comparing the estimated gain with the ideal gain. The renewal gain is converted into the controlled voltage for GCA to reduce or amplify the input signals. We used a piecewise-linear approximation to reduce the hardware size. The gain control is performed seven times to provide more accurate gain control. The proposed automatic gain controller is designed with VHDL and verified by using the Xilinx FPGA.

Wireless sensor networks use battery-operated computing and sensing devices. And It can be expected to be deployed in an ad hoc networs. MAC is different from traditional wireless MACs such as IEEE 802.11 in almost every way. so self-configuration and power saving in sensor network are very important goals, while per-node fairness and latency are less important. In this paper, so we use a given prototype for efficient energy conservation to reduce power consumtion that is one of the important character in sensor network and compare energy consumption and collision with IEEE 802.11 MAC. finally we conclude the paper and analyze it.

This paper has proposedfor wireless Ad-hoc networks with robust route maintenance schemes. The device feature Bluetooth and/or IEEE 802.11 network interfaces and communicate in a decentralized manner. The nodes have the responsibility of self-organizing so that the network is robust to the variations in network topology due to node mobility as well as the fluctuations of the signal quality in the wireless environment.

Ad­hoc 무선 망에서 directional antenna의 사용은 interference를 감소시키고 spatial reuse의 증가, 그리고 네트워크 전체의 capacity 증가 등의 장점을 제공한다. 하지만 기존의 IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol은 omnidirectional antenna를 고려하여 디자인되었기 때문에 기존의 MAC protocol이 directional antennas에 사용될 경우 directional antennas의 장점을 효율적으로 제공하지 못한다. Directional antenna는 이러한 장점을 가지는 반면에 RTS/CTS를 방향성 있는 전송을 하기 때문에 hidden terminal과 이웃 노드의 위치를 파악하는데 있어서 많은 문제를 가지고 있다. 이 논문에서 우리가 제안하는 MAC protocol은 directional antennas 특성상의 문제점을 해결하여 directional antennas의 장점을 최대한 이용한다.
