This paper proposes an efficient data transmission strategy using adaptive-tier low transmission power schedule in a TDMA-based ad hoc MAC protocol. Since the network resource of ad hoc networks has the characteristic of reassignment due to the multiple interferences and the contention-based limited wireless channel, the efficient time slot assignment and low power transmission scheme are the main research topics in developing ad hoc algorithms. Based on the proposed scheme of interference avoidance when neighbor clusters transmit packets, this paper can minimize the total energy dissipation and maximize the utilization of time slot in each ad hoc node. Simulation demonstrates that the proposed algorithm yields 15.8 % lower energy dissipation and 4.66% higher time slot utilization compared to the ones of two-tier conventional energy dissipation model.

WATM(Wireless ATM)에서의 매체접근제어(Medium Access Control)는 QoS를 보장하기 위해 다양한 방식들이 제안되어 왔다. 현재까지 제안되어 온 매체접근제어 방식들은 시분할 다중화 방식 (TDMA)과 예약경쟁방식을 주로 사용하고 있다. 이때 활용되는 기능에는 QoS를 보장하기 위해 통계적 다중화, 스케쥴링 또는 예약 방식 등이 있는데 경쟁 방식은 아직까지 slotted-ALOHA를 그대로 사용하고 있다. Slotted-ALOHA방식의 단점을 개선하기 위하여 통계적 방식으로 경쟁을 제어하거나 물리적 방식으로 경쟁을 분리시켜 그 효율을 향상 시켜왔으나 우선 순위가 같은 이동국들이 많을 경우에는 해결할 방법이 없었다. 이러한 문제점들은 기지국 중심의 경쟁방식이라는 점이 그 문제를 해결하는데 있어서의 걸림돌이다. 본 논문에서는 이미 슬롯을 할당받은 동료 이동국에게 예약요청을 피기백킹(piggybacking)함으로써 신속하게 슬롯을 할당을 받을 수 있는 분산 경쟁방식을 제안한다.

As a standard of WMNs, IEEE 802.11s supports two kinds of MAC algorithm: a mandatory EDCA used by IEEE 802.11e and an optional MCCA. While EDCA classifies traffic according to four Access Categories (AC) and offer differentiated service using a classified priority, MCCA can guarantee the specific bandwidth of users with a TDMA-style bandwidth reservation scheme between mesh routers. In case that a flow is VBR traffic of a multimedia application, MCCA has disadvantage that the reserved bandwidth does not be used entirely, though it guarantees required bandwidth of users and fairness using bandwidth reservation with neighbors' node. In this paper, we showed a problem that is wastes the reserved bandwidth when MCCA is enabled and proposed a new scheduling algorithm to prevent waste of bandwidth and to improve network utilization effectively, named Resource Sharing Round Robin (RSRR) scheduling. Finally we showed simulation results that performance of a proposed RSRR is better than the legacy MCCA through NS-2 simulation.
