In this paper we proposed a new MAC protocol to improve QoS(Quality of Service) for real-time traffic in wireless Ad Hoc networks. NMAC protocol have a contention period reservation scheme and a priority control scheme to provide fairness of nodes and QoS. Through simulation, the NMAC protocol compared with existing CSMA MAC protocols shows improvement in performance.

In this paper, we propose a fast MAS reallocation method that can avoid reservation conflicts in the DRP process of WiMedia system in real time. WiMedia MAC DRP has been developed aimed QoS support for audio and video transmission that generate traffic periodically. The size variation of the video streaming data causes DRP reservation conflicts frequently, so that DRP could not support QoS of the video streaming service which is delay-sensitive. Fast MAS reallocation method could avoid reservation conflicts in real-time analyzing reservation requests information of the other device. Our proposed method is evaluated with test sequences using the software simulation and implemented in hardware/software with the integrated WiMedia MAC/PHY system.

Providing Quality-of-Service (QoS) guarantee requires the reservation of resource needed to accommodate the traffic flow of service for which resource reservation protocol (RSVP) was introduced. However, if any RSVP-capable router on the path fails to accommodate the traffic flow due to lack of resource, the flow is not allowed no matter how much surplus resources other routers on the path have. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a resource reservation method with available resource migration between RSVP-capable routers in which the routers use the recently developed latency optimized fair queuing scheduler. The results of the simulation applying the proposed method to an evaluation network show that it may yield the gain of up to 165% compared to that in the original one in terms of the number of admitted flows.

Providing Quality-of-Service(QoS) guarantee requires the reservation of resource needed to accommodate the traffic flow of service for which resource reservation protocol(RSVP) was introduced. However, if any RSVP-capable router on the path fails to accommodate the traffic flow due to lack of resource, the flow is not allowed no matter how much surplus resources other routers on the path have. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a resource reservation method that can adjust adaptively the delay budget of traffic flow allocated to each RSVP-capable router in which the router uses the recently developed general-time fair queuing scheduler. The results of the simulation applying the proposed method to an evaluation network show that it may yield the gain of up to 90% compared to that in the original one in terms of the number of admitted flows.

Fourth-generation (4G) wireless networks will be the IP-based cellular networks integrating Internet with the existing cellular networks. Two important issues should be concerned in the IP-based cellular networks, IP mobility, and quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees. In this paper, we proposed two mechanisms to solve the problems with IP mobility and RSVP-based QoS provisioning. First, virtual-IP (VIP) allocation scheme in areas with a large rate of handoff can minimize the wireless signaling overhead due to IP mobility. The access routers (ARs) create dynamically the VIP zone by using the measured handoff rate derived from the history of the handoff into neighboring ARs. We show that VIP allocation scheme reduces the binding update messages in the wireless link than hierarchical mobile IPv6. Second, the new advance resource reservation protocol called proportional aggregate RSVP (PA-RSVP) can minimize waste of bandwidth and soft state refresh overhead due to IP mobility. It allocates the bandwidth in advance between the mobility anchor point and neighboring ARs using proportional aggregate reservation. We also show that PA-RSVP provides an improved performance over existing protocols.

The WiMedia Alliance has specified a Distributed Medium Access Control (D-MAC) protocol based on UWB for high speed wireless home networks and WPANs. In this paper, firstly, the fair SoQ-based Distributed Reservation Protocol (DRP) for D-MAC is analyzed. And a novel SoQ-based relay transmission protocol is proposed to overcome DRP conflicts fast. In the proposed protocol, each device executes the Satisfaction of QoS (SoQ) time slot allocation algorithm independently. And, in order to give the loser device due to DRP conflicts another chance to maintain QoS resources, the proposed relay transmission protocol helps the device reserve another indirect link maintaining the required QoS resources via a relay node.

In this paper, we propose a multi-channel medium access control (MAC) protocol, named underwater multi-channel MAC protocol (UMMAC), for underwater acoustic networks (UANs). UMMAC is a split phase and reservation based multi-channel MAC protocol which enables hosts to utilize multiple channels via a channel allocation and power control algorithm (CAPC). In UMMAC, channel information of neighboring nodes is gathered via exchange of control packets. With such information, UMMAC allows for as many parallel transmissions as possible while avoiding using extra time slot for channel negotiation. By running CAPC algorithm, which aims at maximizing the network's capacity, users can allocate their transmission power and channels in a distributed way. The advantages of the proposed protocol are threefold: 1) Only one transceiver is needed for each node; 2) based on CAPC, hosts are coordinated to negotiate the channels and control power in a distributed way; 3) comparing with existing RTS/CTS MAC protocols, UMMAC do not introduce new overhead for channel negotiation. Simulation results show that UMMAC outperforms Slotted floor acquisition multiple access (FAMA) and multi-channel MAC (MMAC) in terms of network goodput (50% and 17% respectively in a certain scenario). Furthermore, UMMAC can lower the end-to-end delay and achieves a lower energy consumption compared to Slotted FAMA and MMAC.

무선 이동통신 네트워크 환경에서는 제한된 네트워크 대역폭과 모바일 호스트(Mobile Host)의 잦은 이동성에 기인한 핸드오프(Hand-Off)로 인하여 다양한 종류의 트래픽(Traffic)에 대한 QoS(Quality of Service)를 보장하기가 용이하지 않다. 그러나, 이렇게 예측하기 힘든 다양한 특징을 가지는 무선 이동통신 네트워크 환경에서도 특정 종류의 트래픽, 예를 들자면 실시간 트래픽(Real-time Traffic)에 대하여 요구된 범위 내에서의 QoS(Quality of Service)가 반드시 보장되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 모바일 호스트의 이동성을 제공하는 차세대 무선 이동통신 네트워크, 즉 2.5 세대라 불리는 IS-2000 무선 네트워크에서 다양한 종류의 실시간 트랙픽에 대해 QoS를 보장하기 위한 개선된 레져베이션 프로토콜(Advanced Reservation Protocol) 및 GPS 베이스드 (Global-Positioning-System Based)핸드오프 프리딕션 (Hand-Off Prediction) 알고리즘을 제안하였다.

Because the Resource reservation Protocol (RSVP) was originally designed fur stationary networks, it is insufficient to accommodate Mobile Nodes (MNs) which frequently change their points of attachment.7his paper deals with how to integrate the RSVP and Hierarchical MHv6 (HMIPv6), in order to quickly establish the QoS guaranteed path and minimize the service disruption when the MN moves around. That can be achieved with the utilization of the common path between the new and old path. Therefore a new method is proposed in detail to find out an anchor node and re-establish a new reservation path.
