We propose a hybrid multiple access (HMA) for uplink orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, which combines two resource sharing schemes: a scheduling-based resource allocation (SBRA) scheme and a contentionbased resource allocation (CBRA) scheme. The SBRA scheme is appropriate for non-real time high data rate traffic, and, CBRA is appropriate for near-real time low/medium data rate traffic. Thus, the proposed HMA scheme supports various types of traffic. As a CBRA scheme, our proposed random frequency hopping (RFH)-OFDMA scheme was presented. Simulation results show that the proposed HMA yields the best performance among various resource allocation schemes for uplink OFDMA systems.

The medium access control (MAC) protocol based on dynamic time division multiple access/time division duplex (TDMA/TDD) is responsible for random access control and radio resource allocation in dynamic traffic environments. These functions of random access and resource allocation are very important to prevent wastage of resources and improve MAC performance according to various network conditions. In this paper, we propose new random access and resource allocation schemes to guarantee quality of service (QoS) and provide priority services in a dynamic TDMA/TDD system. First, for the QoS guarantee, we propose an adaptive random access and resource allocation scheme by introducing an access probability. Second, for providing priority service, we propose a priority-based random access and resource allocation scheme by extending the first adaptive scheme in both a centralized and a distributed manner. The analysis and simulation results show that the proposed MAC protocol outperforms the legacy MAC protocol using a simple binary exponential backoff algorithm, and provides good differential performance according to priorities with respect to the throughput and delay.

OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) 방식을 기반으로 하는 M-WiMAX(Mobile-Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) 시스템의 상향링크에서는 여러 사용자들이 전송하는 각각의 신호가 서로 다른 지연시간으로 인해 한 OFDMA 심볼 내에 선형적인 위상 성분이 발생하고, 이 위상 성분들이 합성되어 다중 접속 간섭 (Multiple Access Interference : MAI) 으로 기지국에서의 레인징 코드 검출 및 지연시간 추정 성능을 열화 시키는 원인이 된다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 각 사용자에 의해 발생되는 MAI 를 최소화하고, 레인징 코드 검출 및 지연시간 추정 성능을 향상시키기 위해 기존의 방법에 직렬 간섭 제거(Successive Interference Cancellation : SIC) 를 적용한 레인징 기법을 제안한다. 모의 실험을 통해 기존의 방법보다 향상된 성능을 보였으며, 3GPP LTE 의 랜덤 액세스와의 비교를 통해 M-WiMAX 의 레인징 성능 한계를 확인하였다.

이 논문에서는 상향링크에서 분산형 직교 주파수 분할 다중 접속방식(interleaved orthogonal frequency division multiple access: IFDMA)을 이용하는 전송 시스템에서 주파수 옵셋에 의해 발생하는 다중접속간섭을 제거하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. IFDMA 시스템에서 주파수 옵셋이 발생하면 인접한 다른 사용자의 부반송파 성분이 간섭신호로 유입되어 시스템의 성능이 크게 저하된다. 이 논문에서는 시간 영역에서 주파수 옵셋을 보상한 후 주파수 영역에서 병렬 간섭 제거기법을 적용하여 다중접속간섭을 제거하는 방법을 제안한다. 모의실험을 통하여 제안방법이 특히 사용자의 수가 많을 때 효과적으로 다중접속간섭을 제거할 수 있음을 보인다.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive time division multiple access based medium access control (MAC) protocol, called bitmap-assisted shortest job first based MAC (BS-MAC), for hierarchical wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The main contribution of BS-MAC is that: (a) It uses small size time slots. (b) The number of those time slots is more than the number of member nodes. (c) Shortest job first (SJF) algorithm to schedule time slots. (d) Short node address (1 byte) to identify members nodes. First two contributions of BS-MAC handle adaptive traffic loads of all members in an efficient manner. The SJF algorithm reduces node's job completion time and to minimize the average packet delay of nodes. The short node address reduces the control overhead and makes the proposed scheme an energy efficient. The simulation results verify that the proposed BS-MAC transmits more data with less delay and energy consumption compared to the existing MAC protocols.

In this paper, we present a frequency reassignment problem (FRP) that arises when we add new base stations to resolve hot-spots or to expand the coverage of a code division multiple access (CDMA) network. For this problem, we develop an integer programming (IP) model along with some valid inequalities and preprocessing rules. Also, we develop an effective heuristic procedure that solves two sub-problems induced from the original problem in repetition. Computational results show that the proposed heuristic procedure finds a feasible solution of good quality within reasonable computation time. Also, the lower bound by-produced from the heuristic procedure is quite strong.

In this paper, we propose an urgency- and efficiency-based wireless packet scheduling (UEPS) algorithm that is able to schedule real-time (RT) and non-real-time (NRT) traffics at the same time while supporting multiple users simultaneously at any given scheduling time instant. The UEPS algorithm is designed to support wireless downlink packet scheduling in an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) system, which is a strong candidate as a wireless access method for the next generation of wireless communications. The UEPS algorithm uses the time-utility function as a scheduling urgency factor and the relative status of the current channel to the average channel status as an efficiency indicator of radio resource usage. The design goal of the UEPS algorithm is to maximize throughput of NRT traffics while satisfying quality-of-service (QoS) requirements of RT traffics. The simulation study shows that the UEPS algorithm is able to give better throughput performance than existing wireless packet scheduling algorithms such as proportional fair (PF) and modified-largest weighted delay first (M-LWDF), while satisfying the QoS requirements of RT traffics such as average delay and packet loss rate under various traffic loads.

센서 네트워크에서 효율적인 채널의 사용은 짧은 시간 안에 많은 양의 패킷을 전달하기 위해 중요하며, 채널 활용성을 향상시킨다. 채널 활용성은 MAC 프로토콜의 효율성을 설명하기 위한 좋은 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 효율적인 채널 사용을 위해 B-MAC(Berkeley-MAC)에서 사용한 기법들과 TDMA(Time Division Multiple Access)를 결합시킨 MAC(Media Access Control) 프로토콜을 제안한다. 기본적으로는 backoff, CCA(Clear Channel assessment), LPL(Low Power Listen) 기법 등을 사용하여 충돌과 에너지 소모를 줄이며, 동시에 경쟁 상태에 따라 전송 방식을 다르게 함으로써 채널 활용성을 높이고자 한다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 기존의 MAC 프로토콜과 비교하여 성능이 향상됨을 보여준다.

A hierarchical time division multiple access (HTDMA) medium access control (MAC) protocol is proposed for clustered mobile underwater acoustic networks. HTDMA consists of two TDMA scheduling protocols (i.e., TDMA1 and TDMA2) in order to accommodate mobile underwater nodes (UNs). TDMA1 is executed among surface stations (e.g., buoys) using terrestrial wireless communication in order to share mobility information obtained from UNs which move cluster to cluster. TDMA2 is executed among UNs, which send data to their surface station as a cluster head in one cluster. By sharing mobility information, a surface station can instantaneously determine the number of time slots in a TDMA2 frame up to as many as the number of UNs which is currently residing in its cluster. This can enhance delay and channel utilization performance by avoiding the occurrence of idle time slots. We analytically investigate the delay of HTDMA, and compare it with that of wellknown contention-free and contention-based MAC protocols, which are TDMA and Slotted-ALOHA, respectively. It is shown that HTDMA remarkably decreases delay, compared with TDMA and Slotted-ALOHA.

In time division duplex (TDD) code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, chip-synchronous transmission in the uplink is obtainable, thus leading to free multiple access interference in flat Rayleigh fading channels plus additive white Gaussian noise. This motivates us to develop a novel cooperative transmission strategy that allows single-antenna devices to benefit from spatial diversity using orthogonal signature sequences. The proposed cooperation is applicable to many digital modulation methods and achieves the fullest diversity level, low implementation complexity, and a full data rate. Closed-form bit-error-rate expressions were also derived and compared to simulation results in order to evaluate its validity. A variety of numerical results demonstrated the cooperation's superiority over single transmission under the same transmit power constraint.
