Recently FCC has considered about the unlicensed device operation in licensed bands. However, this operation can give the harmful interference to the existent licensed system while unlicensed devices operate. Therefore, there should be strict requirements to protect licensed system. So in this paper we propose dynamic frequency selection method in the MAC layer, which is based on the cognitive radio technology. The proposed dynamic frequency selection method creates channel lists after sensing the licensed channels. And it helps the CR base station immediately to moves the current channels that are used by the unlicensed system to other available bands dynamically when a licensed system's signal is detected. This method can reduce interference that is caused by unlicensed devices. In addition, it can maximize channel utilization with enabling coexistence of unlicensed system and licensed system.

This paper proposes a medium access control protocol for collision detection and resolution when a large number of sensor nodes transmits data in vehicle. The proposed protocol selects a random collision detection (CD) slot after data transmission, suspends its transmission and senses the channel to check whether a collision occurs by the detection of both energy level and jam signal. The proposed scheme uses multiple CD phases and in each CD phase, colliding stations are filtered and only surviving stations compete again in the next CD phase; thus, the collision resolution probability significantly increases. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol using the multiple CD phases has significantly better throughput than the conventional protocol. In addition, according to the number of CD phases and the number of CD slots per phase, the throughput aspect of the proposed scheme is investigated and the optimal parameters are derived.

Efforts for standardization of medium access control (MAC) protocol in IEEE802.11e have been made to support quality of service (QoS) in IEEE802.11 MAC protocol. Enhanced distributed coordination function (EDCF) of 802.11e MAC protocol is modified to support QoS for packets that have differentiated priority. However, EDCF still has e problem of throughput optimization and priority support. Therefore, we have proposed a scheme called adaptive EDCF for both supporting priority of packets and throughput optimization. We have derived the relation between the number of nodes and contention window size for throughput optimization. Based on the analytic results, we have evaluated the performance of the proposed scheme using OPNET simulations. The simulation results show that using the proposed scheme can Improve the overall throughput regardless of the number of nodes and the decrement of the throughput with increasing the number of nodes can be alleviated. Additionally, we have shown that the adaptive EDCF can support priority of packets more effectively than existing EDCF.

This paepr proposes a shared medium access control protocol for hgih-speed multimedia services of distributed subscriber home and small-sized business ATM networks. This protocol offers not only global fairness for the whole network at the same time, but also local fairness for different prioritytraffics on each node. Considering that the future B-ISDN service si a mixture of real and non-real time traffic data, this protocol is designed to accommodate the real time service, by controlling the priority of the real and non-real time data. The simulation results show that the proposed protocol has better performance than the other protocols.

Wireless channel has high error rate and limited bandwidth. In order to guarantee the quality of service for multimedia through wireless channel, wireless ATM network requires the cell structure with error control schemes and an efficient medium access control protocol. In this paprt, an efficient medium access control protocol, which is considered of cell structure and the QOS, is proposed for wireless ATM networks. Many kinds of ATM cell structures are analyzed in terms of cell error rate and cell loss rate to choose the proper cell structures for this proposed MAC protocol. And a bandwidth allocation algorithm is also designed to satisfy the priority of services. The performance of proposed MAC protocol are evaluated in terms of channel utilization, call blocking and packet discard probability accotding to different kinds of cell structure through simulation.

A new MAC protocol, MT-MAC(Multi-Tier Medium Access Control) by name, is proposed for dense sensor networks. Depending on the density of nodes in a virtual cluster, the cluster header performs the splitting to several tiers in nodes of virtual cluster. MT-MAC split the tiers to use modfied-SYNC message after receiving the beacon message from the cluster header. Because only the sensor nodes in the same tier communicate each other, less power is consumed and longer network life time is guaranteed. By a simulation method with NS-2, we evaluated our protocol. In dense nodes environments, MT-MAC protocol shows better results than S-MAC in terms of packet delivery rates throughput and energy consumption.

In line with the requirement of appropriate protocol support for such mission-critical wireless sensor network (WSN) applications as patient monitoring, we investigate the framework for designing medium access control (MAC) schemes. The data traffic in medical systems comes with inherent traffic heterogeneity as well as strict requirement of reliability according to the varied extents of devise-wise criticality in separate cases. This implies that the quality-of-Service (QoS) issues are very distinctly delicate requiring specialized consideration. Besides, there are features in such systems that can be exploited during the design of a MAC scheme. In a monitoring or routine surveillance application, there are degrees of regularity or predictability in traffic as coordinated from a node of central control. The coordinator thus takes on the role of marshaling the resources in a neighborhood of nodes deployed mostly for upstream traffic; in a collision-free scheme, it schedules the time slots for each superframe based on the QoS specifications. In this preliminary study, we identify the key artifacts of such a MAC scheme. We also present basic performance issues like the impact of superframe length on delay incurred, energy efficiency achieved in the network operation as obtained in a typical simulation setup based on this framework.

The WiMedia Alliance has specified a Distributed Medium Access Control (D-MAC) protocol based on UWB for high speed wireless home networks and WPANs. The WiMedia D-MAC fundamentally removes the problems of the centralized MAC revealed at IEEE 802.15.3 MAC, by adopting a distributed architecture. However, there is no completely distributed method for allocating fair data rates to all traffic streams by considering each stream's QoS parameter. In this paper, a novel fair distributed QoS admission control method is proposed. The proposed method is a fair, adaptive QoS provisioning method, by allocating time slots to devices according to the current traffic load condition, through executing only a proposed single satisfaction of QoS (SoQ) algorithm at each device.

In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient MAC(Medium Access Control) protocol for processing context information in ubiquitous sensor network environments. CASMAC(Context Aware Sensor MAC) use context information for energy-efficient operation and its operation principle is as follows. First, we make scenarios with possible prediction for CASMAC. And then we save setted context information in server. When event occur at specific sensor node, and then it send three times sample data to server. According to context information, server process sample data. If server process sample data with event, it receive continuous data from event occur node by a transmission request signal. And then server send data transmission stop signal to event occur node when it do not need to data. If server process sample data with no event, it have not reply. Through we make energy consumption tables and an energy consumption model, we simulate analysis of CASMAC performance. In a result, we gains about 5.7 percents energy reduction compared to SMAC.
