This paper presents a terminal-assisted frame-based packet reservation multiple access (TAF-PRMA) protocol, which optimizes random access control between heterogeneous traffic aiming at more efficient voice/data integrated services in dynamic reservation TDMA-based broadband access networks. In order to achieve a differentiated quality-of-service (QoS) guarantee for individual service plus maximal system resource utilization, TAF-PRMA independently controls the random access parameters such as the lengths of the access regions dedicated to respective service traffic and the corresponding permission probabilities, on a frame-by-frame basis. In addition, we have adopted a terminal-assisted random access mechanism where the voice terminal readjusts a global permission probability from the central controller in order to handle the 'fair access' issue resulting from distributed queuing problems inherent in the access network. Our extensive simulation results indicate that TAF-PRMA achieves significant improvements in terms of voice capacity, delay, and fairness over most of the existing medium access control (MAC) schemes for integrated services.

최근 애드혹 네트워크에서 신뢰성과 확장성을 고려하여 메쉬 라우팅의 지원이 요구되고 있으며 IEEE 802.15.5의 Low-rate WPAN Mesh 와 ZigBee alliance에서 AODV를 기반으로 한 메쉬 라우팅이 대표적이다. IEEE 802.15.5 Low-rate WPAN Mesh의 경우 메쉬 라우팅을 위해 hello command의 주기적인 브로드캐스팅이 필요한데 이는 네트워크를 구성하는 노드의 밀집도가 증가할 경우 그 부하가 기하급수적으로 증가하게 된다. 또한 ZigBee alliance의 AODV 기반 메쉬 라우팅 기법도 RREQ 메시지의 브로드캐스팅에 기반하고 있기 때문에 경로 설정을 위한 제어 트래픽의 부하가 매우 크다는 단점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 TDMA 네트워크에서 TDMA MAC의 특성과 토폴로지 기반으로 할당된 주소를 활용한 메쉬 라우팅 알고리즘의 설계를 제안한다.

TDMA(Time Division Multiple Access)는 사용자에게 자신에게 할당된 시간구간에서 모든 대역폭을 이용하여 무선 네트워크에서 통신할 수 있는 다중 접속기술이다. TDMA에서 동기화 방식은 동기화를 이루는 방법이 어렵기 때문에 소규모 네트워크에는 적합하지 않다. 본 논문에서는 DESYNC 알고리즘을 이용하여 소규모 네트워크에 적합한 동기화 방식의 TDMA 기법인 C-DESYNC를 제안하고자 한다. C-DESYNC는 DESYNC의 firing 방식을 이용하고, 주기의 시작 정보를 포함하고 있는 Global Packet을 이용하여 안정화상태까지 걸리는 최대 지연시간을 보장한다.

TDMA(Time-Division Multiple Access)는 한정된 채널을 시간상에서 여러 개의 구간으로 분할하고, 자신에게 할당된 시간 구간에서 정보를 전송하는 기법이다. 본 논문은 TDMA 알고리즘의 한 종류인 DESYNC 알고리즘을 소규모 네트워크에 적용하여 별도의 동기화 작업 없이 간단한 규칙으로 동기화를 유지하는 기법을 소개 한다. 기존의 DESYNC 알고리즘은 모든 노드들이 전송 영역 안에 있어야 하고, 전부 연결되어있어야 한다는 단점이 있다. 이 문제점을 해결하고자 중앙제어장치인 CU(Central Unit)을 네트워크에 배치하여 2-홉 형태의 중앙 집중방식 네트워크가 운영되도록 하였다. 제시하는 알고리즘은 기존의 DESYNC 알고리즘과 마찬가지로 복잡한 동기화 과정 없이 단순한 방식으로 TDMA가 동작할 수 있도록 하면서, 전송 범위는 기존의 DESYNC 알고리즘의 성능에 비해 우수하다.

In the latest date, medical body area networks (MBANs) are emerging as a new technology for diagnosis the human body. MBANs in the health care fields are based on short-range and low-power (e.g. ubiquitous computing) among small-sized devices, and have been used by means of medical services. In this paper, we proposed an emergency message transmission protocol using carrier sense multiple access/time division multiple access in MBANs. This scheme focuses on dependability and power-efficiency. In order to increase the reliability of the transmission, this scheme modified a MCTA slot of IEEE 802.15.3 standard to a SR-MCTA slot. SR-MCTA slot is assigned by MBAN coordinator according to requesting terminal nodes. The method, having the priority of transmission, occurs a collision packet randomly. Results from this proposed solution revel that reservation-based TDMA medical body area network(MBAN) protocol for transmitting emergency message was improved in terms of transmission delay.

This paper proposes a block-based self-organizing time-division multiple access (BSO-TDMA) protocol for very high frequency (VHF) data exchange system (VDES) in shipborne ad-hoc networks (SANETs). The BSO-TDMA reduces the collisions caused by the simultaneous transmission of automatic identification system (AIS) messages by uniformly allocating channel resources using a block-wise frame. For this purpose, the BSO-TDMA includes two functional operations: (1) frame configuration and (2) slot allocation. The first operation consists of block division and block selection. A frame is divided into multiple blocks, each consisting of fixed-size subblocks, by using the reporting interval (RI) of the ship. Then, the ship selects one of the subblocks within a block by considering the number of occupied slots for each subblock. The second operation allocates the slots within the selected subblock for transmitting AIS messages. First, one of the unoccupied slots within the selected subblock is allocated for the periodic transmission of position reports. Next, to transmit various types of AIS messages, an unoccupied slot is randomly selected from candidate slots located around the previously allocated slot. Experimental simulations are conducted to evaluate the performance of BSO-TDMA. The results show that BSO-TDMA has better performance than that of the existing SOTDMA.

In this paper, a channel access control algorithm and a slot allocation algorithm are proposed as MAC protocol for multimedia services in TDMA/TDD-based wireless ATM networks. In the proposed protocol, VBR terminals that require real-time services transmit a reservation request through a random access minislot. VBR terminals, which are successfully transmitted the reservation request, transmits the dynamic parameters through a dynamic parameter minislot without contention. On the other hand, ABR terminals transmit a reservation request with contention basis whenever a non-real-time traffic burst is generated. Based on the received dynamic parameters and the number of requested slots, the base station scheduler allocates a dynamic parameter minislot as well as uplink data slots into VBR terminals. Also the scheduler allocates uplink data slots into ABR terminals in proportion to the number of requested slots.

In this paper, an R_ALOHA_CDMA protocol is proposed for voice and data integrated services in the hybrid TDMA/CDMA wireless networks. In the hybrid TDMA/CDMA systems, the backward logical channels are composed of time slots with multiple spreading codes per slot. In the proposed protocol, a voice terminal can reserve a spreading code to transmit voice packets during a talkspurt. On the other hand, whenever a data terminal generates a packet, it transmits the packet through one of the available spreading codes. Throughout the results, it is shown that the system capacity increases in proportion to the number of spreading codes.

This paper proposes the efficient method of CSMA during an idle duration in the time slot. The hybrid TDMA/CSMA protocol is the method that shares the medium efficiently. This improves the channel efficiency and throughput by using CSMA method during the idle TDMA time slot. In CSMA duration, many devices start to compete with each other. This causes a low throughput because of a long delay and a frequent collision. In order to improve this problem, the proposed method reduces the number of devices that compete in the CSMA duration. Because the number of competed device is reduced, this proposed algorithm reduces the delay and collision probability. This decrements of delay and collision probability improve the networks. The simulation results show that the proposed limitive CSMA methods outperform any methods of hybrid TDMA/CSMA protocol.
