As wireless sensor networks are applied to various applications such as environment monitoring and disaster sensing system, there are increased needs for wireless communication in underground environment. Since the previous wireless communication technology using electromagnetic wave is not appropriate for the underground environment, a new alternative is required. Recently a magnetic field communication technology has been proposed and standardized as a domestic KS standard. In this paper, we analyze the media access control protocol of the KS standard by an analysis and a simulation study.

This paper proposes and analyzes a new media access control (MAC) scheduling algorithm, “Interleaved Polling with Deficit Round Robin (IPDRR)” that supports weighted fairness among ONUs in Ethernet Passive Optical Network (PON). The purpose of the proposed IPDRR algerian is not only to eliminate the unused bandwidth of upstream ONU traffic, but also to provide weighted fair sharing of upstream bandwidth among ONUs in Ethernet PON systems. Simulation results show that the IPDRR improves the utilization of upstream channel by removing the unused bandwidth and provides weighted fairness among ONUs, although the IPACT scheduling is unfair according to traffic characteristics.

In this paper, we evaluate the system throughput and the method of optimal wireless resource allocation for the access zone (AZ) and relay zone (RZ) in downlink when the cell coverage is extended using the non-transparent Relay Station (RS) in a 2-hop cellular relay system based on IEEE802.16j, which uses the OFDMA-TDD structure. For the analyses, we first introduce the MAC (Media Access Control) frame structure in the non-transparent mode, then we investigate the interfering elements in both AZ and RZ for the network devices such as the Mobile Station (MS) and RS. Through computer simulation, we analyze the cell coverage extension and system throughput in terms of the distance between Base Station (BS) and RS, then we present the amount of the optimal allocation of wireless resource for the AZ and RZ in downlink using our results.

최근 대부분의 전송기술(LAN 뿐만 아니라 MAN과 WAN까지)이 이더넷으로 통일되는 경향에 힘입어, 예전에 비하여 이더넷은 최근에 대단한 주목을 받게 되었다. 그러나 그동안 ATM 등의 전송기술에 의해 관심밖에 있던 이더넷이기 때문에, 국내에서 축적된 기술도 미약하다. 그리고, 이더넷이라는 기술은 단순한 디지털 로직이 아닌 디지털 / 아날로그 모뎀기술과 광 전송기술, 소프트웨어기술들이 결합된 고도의 전송기술이기 때문이다. 10Gbps 이더넷 표준이 2002년에 발표되면서 10Gbps 이더넷에 대해 많은 연구가 지속되고 있다. 10Gbps 이더넷의 특징은 이더넷 고유의 CSMA/CD 방식을 지원하지 않고, 점대점 전이중 방식만을 지원하고, 기존의 프레임구조는 계속 유지하였다. 본 연구에서는 10Gbps 이더넷 Data Link 계층의 MAC(Media Access Control) 코어를 C언어를 이용하여 성능평가를 실시하여 활용 가능한 응용분야와 내부 FIFO와 파라미터 초기 값을 도출하였다. 성능평가 결과 MAC 모듈은 짧은 패킷이 유입되었을 때 95%까지, 일반 패킷이 유입되었을 때 97%까지 패킷 손실이 발생하지 않음을 확인하였다.

Recently, research on Media Access Control (MAC) techniques for underwater acoustic communication has been conducted actively. For successful acoustic communication in underwater conditions, development of environmentally adaptive MAC techniques, which is taking narrow bandwidth, distance, depth, noise level, salinity, multipath and etc into account, is an especially important work. In this paper, knowledge based system is introduced not only to obtain adaptive and optimal communication parameters but also increase network efficiency and availability by requesting change of MAC techniques based on decisions from knowledge-based system Smart Decision Block (SDB). Computer simulations were also conducted to verify the performance of the proposed system in underwater conditions.

The MAC protocol of HiperLAN/2 is based on TDMA/TDD. Mobile terminal acquires a data transmission opportunity as successfulness in channel competition through RCH (Random CHannel) phase. Therefore, AP (Access Point) be able to dynamically assign optimum RCH at next frame according to the number of success and collision. In this paper, we suggest scheme that fluctuate RCH (Random CHannel) number as fixed value considering success and collision for improvement of performance in HiperLAN/2. To prove efficiency of proposed scheme, a lots of simulations are conducted and analyzed in view of throughput and access delay.

Recently there are increasing needs for Internet and various kinds of contents. These traffics for various contents need more amount of data to provide high-quality information and require various QoS depending on the characteristics of contents. However, current Internet service supports BE (Best Effort) service only, therefore IntServ (Integrated Service) scheme and DiffServ (Differentiated Service) scheme are represented to support QoS in IP layer. Moreover, while wireless Internet is getting popular, MAC(Medium Access Control) is also becoming important. This is due to the fact that wireless access, resource allocation and packet scheduling, which are done in another layers before, are performed in MAC layer in many new wireless systems. This paper describes new scheme that provides QoS taking into account the traffic characteristics over Mobile IPv6 network based on IEEE 802.11e EDCF and evaluates the performance through computer simulation.

Full-duplex (FD) technologies enable wireless nodes to simultaneously transmit and receive signal using the same frequency-band. The FD modes could improve their physical layer throughputs. However, in the wireless ad hoc networks, the FD communications also produce new interference risks. On the one hand, the interference ranges (IRs) of the nodes are enlarged when they work in the FD mode. On the other hand, for each FD pair, the FD communication may cause the potential hidden terminal problems to appear around the both sides. In this paper, to avoid the interference risks, we first model the IR of each node when it works in the FD mode, and then analyze the conditions to be satisfied among the transmission ranges (TRs), carrier-sensing ranges (CSRs), and IRs of the FD pair. Furthermore, in the media access control (MAC) layer, we propose a specific method and protocol for collision avoidance. Based on the modified Omnet++ simulator, we conduct the simulations to validate and evaluate the proposed FD MAC protocol, showing that it can reduce the collisions effectively. When the hidden terminal problem is serious, compared with the existing typical FD MAC protocol, our protocol can increase the system throughput by 80%~90%.
