IEEE 802.16 Wireless MAN standard specifies the air interface of fixed point-to-multipoint broadband wireless access systems providing multiple services. Among the service classes supported by the wireless MAN, the best effort service class is ranked on the lowest position in priority and is assisted by a MAC scheme based on reservation ALOHL Such MAC scheme must include a number of components, while many of them are not specified in the standard. In this paper, we thus reveal main components of a MAC scheme supporting the best effort service and present candidate schemes implementing such components. Combining schemes for implementing components, we then construct distinctive MAC schemes supporting best effort service. In designing a MAC scheme, the delay performance induced by the scheme should be considered since scarce resource may be available for the best effort service after the preemptive resource occupation by other service classes. In this paper, we focus on the delay fairness among the subscriber stations using the best effort service. For evaluating a MAC scheme in delay fairness, we present two definitions of delay fairness and provide a criterion for optimal MAC scheme according to each definition of delay fairness. Using a simulation method we investigate the mean delay performance exhibited by each MAC scheme arid find an optimal scheme in delay fairness. From numerical examples, we observe that SR/ED/PG＋P scheme has strong delay fairness compared with MR/ED/PG＋P and SR/ED/PG＋D schemes according to a definition of delay fairness. However, other schemes are rather shown to have better delay fairness when the other definition is adopted.

In this paper, a CSSMA/AI MAC protocol in packet CDMA network is presented. The main features of this protocol are the code status sensing and reservation for reducing the packet collision. The base station broadcasts the code status on a frame-by-frame basis just before the beginning of each preamble transmission, and the mobile station transmits a preamble for reserving a code based on the received code status. After having transmitted the preamble, the mobile station listens to the downlink of the selected code and waits the base station reply. If this reply indicates that the code has been correctly acquired, it continues the packet transmission for the rest of the frame. If there are other packets waiting for transmission, the base station broadcasts the status of the code as reserved, and the mobile station transmits a packet on a reserved code for the successive frames.

In the wireless ATM networks, a Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol is required to support an integrated mix of multimedia traffic services. The MAC protocol should be designed in a way that the limited wireless bandwidth can be efficiently utilized maximizing the Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees for various traffic service classes. In this paper, a Dynamic Resource Allocation-based MAC protocol, which satisfies QoS of each traffic service class in the wireless ATM environment, is proposed. The proposed MAC protocol adopts the dynamic channel allocation schemes for a mix of different traffic service classes. The suggested MAC protocol is designed to provide the QoS guarantees for Constant Bit Rate (CBR) or real-time Variable Bit Rate (VBR) traffic through fixed or dynamic reservation. For Available Bit Rate (ABH) traffic, which has the lowest priority among the traffic classes, large improvement in delay by reserving the minimum bandwidth is shown. And for real-time VBR traffic, increase in throughput of transmission is demonstrated because of bandwidth, which is allocated through contention at the initial phase and without contention thereafter.

본 논문에서는 DS-CDMA 시스템에서 예약 기반 MAC 플로토콜의 성능을 분석한다. 본 논문에서 고려하고 있는 예약 기반 MAC 프로토콜은 NAK 방식과 Request 큐잉 방식이다. NAK 방식은 예약 요구를 수락할 수 없는 경우에 NAK를 전송하여 전송 불가를 통지하는 방식이며, Request 큐잉 방식은 예약 요구를 수락할 수 없을 경우에 기지국에 예약 요구 패킷을 저장하는 방식이다. 그리고 이러한 두 방식에 채널 유지 기능을 추가한 방식을 함께 고려한다. 각 방식에서 패킷의 길이를 변화시키면서 수율과 평균 전달 지연 시간을 비교하였다. 성능 분석 결과 패킷의 길이가 짧은 경우에는 예약 방식의 성능이 매우 낮으며, 패킷의 길이가 길어지면 성능이 향상되는 것을 알 수 있다. 그리고 채널 유지 기능을 추가함으로서 전반적인 성능이 향상되며, 채널 유지 방식에서는 패킷간의 도착 시간, 예약 과정의 지연 시간 등을 고려해서 최적의 채널 유지 시간을 설정해야 함을 알 수 있다.

In the IEEE 802.16 Wireless MAN standard, the best effort service class is ranked on the lowest position in priority and is assisted by a MAC scheme based on reservation ALOHA. In such a MAC scheme, a collision among the requests is unavoidable so that the standard adopted a binary exponential back-off rule to arbitrate a collision. Aiming at improving throughput performance, we present two generic collision arbitration rules based on p-persistence rule, (identified as pristine and metamorphosed rules), as alternatives in a wireless MAN. For each of these rules, we then develop an analytical method to calculate an approximate value of saturated throughput. In comparison with simulation results, we confirm the high accuracy of the analytical method. Also, the pristine and metamorphosed rules are observed to exhibit higher saturated throughput compared with the binary exponential back-off rule.

This paper proposes a distributed MAC protocol called Carrier Sensing Multiple Access with Collision Resolution (CSMA/CR) considering fully-connected single hop network environments for next-generation wireless LAN with high density of stations. The proposed CSMA/CR is compatible with the conventional MAC protocols by observing the operation of CSMA/CA and is able to detect a collision promptly without RTS/CTS exchange by applying the technique of CSMA/CD to wireless environments. Moreover, once a collision is detected, the dedicated resource is allocated to the next transmission and so the collision that may occur again is resolved. We investigate some implementation issues for the practicality of CSMA/CR and compare it with the typical distributed MAC protocols. The simulation results show that the proposed CSMA/CR has a low overhead as detecting a collision without the RTS/CTS exploitation and achieves always the best throughput regardless of the number of access stations, by using the reservation-based collision resolution technique.

In this paper, we first analyze the delay performance of Dynamic Space-time Subframe (DSTS)-based frame structure which has been proposed to support the real-time service as well as non real-time service, using Ad hoc Self-Organizing Time Division Multiple Access (ASO-TDMA) MAC protocol, especially when transmitting a MAC SDU with two or more MAC PDUs, in a multi-hop ad-hoc maritime communication network. We propose two key transmission schemes: contiguous DSTS reservation which guarantees the end-to-end delay for the multiple PDUs, and adaptive transmission probability control schemes to maximize the system throughput. Our simulation results show that the proposed schemes outperform the system throughput of the existing transmission schemes, while supporting the real-time requirement.

In the IEEE 802.16 Wireless MAN standard specifies the air interface of fixed point-to-multipoint broadband wireless access systems providing multiple services. Among the service classes supported between the base station and subscriber stations in the wireless MAN, the best effort service class is ranked on the lowest position in priority and is assisted by a MAC scheme based on reservation ALOHA. The wireless MAN standard, however, does not reveal every detail of the MAC scheme but only describes the skeleton of the MAC scheme. Focusing on the amount of resource that a subscriber demands by a request and the amount of resource that the base grants to a request we thus present a number of resource demand rules and resource grant rules. Also, we construct a candidate MAC scheme by implanting a pair of resource demand and grant rules into the skeleton of the MAC scheme. Meanwhile a difficult situation for the best effort service is expected wherein only scarce resource is available after most of the resource is already preempted by other services. Perceiving such a situation, we evaluate the throughput and delay performance of each candidate MAC scheme. Especially we develop an analytical method to approximately calculate the throughput in the saturated environment. From the numerical results, we observe that the candidate MAC scheme which adopts the non-gated exhaustive demand rule paired with the full grant rule attains superior performance at the expense of the fairness.
