In this paper, for the WiMedia Distributed Medium Access Control (D-MAC) protocol based on UWB. performance degradation due to the Distributed Reservation Protocol (DRP) conflict problem caused by devices' mobility is analyzed. And a DRP relay protocol and a DRP conflict resolution (CR) are proposed to overcome the performance degradation at DRP conflicts. In order to give the loser device at DRP conflicts a chance to maintain resources, the proposed DRP relay protocol executed at each device helps the loser device reserve an indirect link maintaining the required resources via a relay node. Simulation results considering the mobile environment have indicated that the DRP relay combined with the CR prevent the throughput decrease even though mobility of devices increases.

Wireless sensor network has been widely used in Internet of Things (IoT) applications to support large and dense networks. As sensor nodes are usually tiny and provided with limited hardware resources, the existing multiple access methods, which involve high computational complexity to preserve the protocol performance, is not available under such a scenario. In this paper, we propose an intelligent Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol selection scheme based on machine learning in wireless sensor networks. We jointly consider the impact of inherent behavior and external environments to deal with the application limitation problem of the single type MAC protocol. This scheme can benefit from the combination of the competitive protocols and non-competitive protocols, and help the network nodes to select the MAC protocol that best suits the current network condition. Extensive simulation results validate our work, and it also proven that the accuracy of the proposed MAC protocol selection strategy is higher than the existing work.

The paper describes SR3 (Synchronous Round Robin with Reservations), a collision-free medium access control protocol for all-optical slotted packet networks based on WDM multi-channel ring topologies where nodes are equipped with one fixed-wavelength receiver and one wavelength-tunable transmitter SR3 is derived from the SRR and MMR protocols previously proposed by the same authors for the same class of all-optical networks. SRR and MMR already achieve an efficient exploitation of the available bandwidth, while guaranteeing a throughput-fair access to each node. SR3, In addition, allows nodes to reserve slots. thereby achieving a stronger control on access delays; it is thus well suited to meet tight delay requirements, as it is the case for multimedia applications. Simulation results show that SR3 provides very good performance to guaranteed qualify traffic, but also brings signigicant performance improvements for best-effort traffic. Energy effciency is an important issue for optical network since they must rely on their batteries. We present a novel MAC protocol that achieves a good energy efficiency of optical interface of the network and provides support for diverse traffic types and QoS. The scheduler of the base station is responsible to provide the required QoS to connections on the optical link and to minimise the amount of energy spend by the High speed Network. The main principles of the MaC protocol are to avoid unsuccessful actions, minimise the number of transitions , and synchronise the mobile and the base-station. We will show that considerable amounts of energy can be saved using these principles.

Cognitive Radio Ad-Hoc Networks (CRAHNs) enable to overcome the shortage of frequency resources due to the increase of radio services. In order to avoid interference with the primary user in CRANH, channel sensing to check the idle channel is required, and when the primary user appears, the time delay due to handover should be minimized through fast idle channel selection. In this paper, throughput was improved by reducing the number of channel sensing and preferentially sensing a channel with a high probability of being idle, using reinforcement learning. In addition, we proposed a multi-channel MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol that can minimize the possibility of collision with the primary user by sensing the channel at the time of data transmission without performing periodic sensing. The performance was compared and analyzed through computer simulation.

There are some problems to implement a realtime network system with Ethernet because the MAC(Medium Access Control) of Ethernet uses a CSMA/CD protocol, which introduces unexpected delays. In this paper, we designed a method to solve problems due to the Ethernet MAC. This method introduces a pseudo-MAC in application layer to support the real-time feature. So the presented method doesn´t need any modifications of protocols such as UDP/IP/MAC. The presented pseudo-MAC is based on both a token passing protocol and a publisher-subscriber protocol. The suggested realtime protocol is implemented and tested practically in a local area network. The proposed real-time network consists of a token controller node and general nodes.

This paper proposes a discriminative collision resolution scheme for the wireless Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols to support the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of real-time applications. Our scheme deals with access requests in different ways depending on their delay requirements. In our scheme, a Collision Resolution Period (CRP) is used to quickly resolve collisions for the delay sensitive traffic in order to support their delay requirements. Performance analysis and simulation results show that our algorithm may successfully meet the delay requirements of real time applications by reducing access delays and collisions.

The Home Phoneline Networking Alliance (HomePNA) 2.0 technology can establish a home network using existing in-home phone lines, which provides a channel rate of 4 - 32 Mbps. HomePNA 2.0 Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol adopts an IEEE 802.3 Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) access method, a Quality of Service (QoS) algorithm, and a Distributed Fair Priority Queuing (DFPQ) collision resolution algorithm. In this paper, we analyze the HomePNA 2.0 MAC protocol and propose the architecture of HomePNA 2.0 MAC controller circuit. Then, we present the simulation result of each block included in the HomePNA 2.0 MAC controller.

In this paper, we investigate the effects of various station distribution patterns in the DMSA system which is a random access LAN protocol. Via Monte Carlo simulation, we investigate the utilization achieved by the individual stations for several station distribution types. We then investigate the effects of the number of stations to the utilization-delay performance.

The standards which use shared medium like IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN have transmission opportunity by contention in contention period. If there are collisions in contention period, medium access control protocol may solve problem by using backoff algorithm. Backoff algorithm is important part in medium access control, but legacy backoff method which is used under IEEE 802.11 standards is not adjusted when load is heavy because of increasing collisions. In this paper, we propose a new load-based dynamic backoff algorithm in contention-based wireless shared medium to improve throughput of medium and to reduce the number of collisions. Proposed backoff algorithm can increase the network utilization about $20\%$ higher than that of binary exponential backoff algorithm.
