In this paper, we propose an unequal protection physical coding sub-layer (PCS) forward error correction (FEC) scheme for efficient and high-quality transmission of video data over optical access networks. Through identifying and resolving the unequal importance of different video frames and passing this importance information from MAC-layer to PCS, FEC scheme of PCS can be adaptive to application-layer data. Meanwhile, we jointly consider the different channel situations of optical network unit (ONU) and improve the efficiency of FEC redundancy by channel adaptation. We develop a theoretical algorithm and a hardware method to achieve efficient FEC assignment for the proposed unequal protection scheme. The theoretical FEC assignment algorithm is to obtain the optimal FEC redundancy allocation vector that results in the optimum performance index, namely frame error rate, based on the identified differential importance and channel situations. The hardware method aims at providing a realistic technical path with negligible hardware cost increment compared with the traditional FEC scheme. From the simulation results, the proposed Channel and Application-layer data Adaptation Unequal Protection (CAAUP) FEC scheme along with the FEC ratio assignment algorithm and the hardware method illustrates the ability of efficient and high-quality transmission of video data against the random errors in the channel of optical access networks.

The IEEE 802.11 DCF channel access function allows single transmission inside two-hop network in order to avoid collisions and eliminate the hidden and exposed terminal problems. Singular transmission capability causes data frames waiting for the entire roundtrip time in the transmitter neighborhood, and results in increased frame latency and lower network throughput. Real-time and pervasive applications are severely affected for the lower medium utilization; especially with high network traffic. This work proposes a new scheme with the help of Frame Aggregation technique in IEEE802.11n and overcomes the single transmission barrier maintaining the basic DCF functionality. Proposed scheme allows parallel transmissions in non-interfering synchronized slots. Parallel transmissions bypass the conventional physical carrier sense and random Backoff time for several cases and reduce the frame latency and increase the medium utilization and network capacity.

WBAN (Wireless Body Area Network) is a network which is to consistently monitor body signals with implanted or attached sensor nodes. Especially, nodes that are used in medical services have to operate with low power consumption since they are hard to replace, and have to guarantee high data rate and low transmission delay for consistent signal monitor. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that aims to reduce transmission delay and power consumption, and guarantees stable throughput, by assuming the number of active nodes, and followed by dynamically adjusting the random access period and transmission possibilities in a superframe. The assumed number of active nodes may be incorrect since it only relies on the channel status of a previous superframe. Therefore, we assume the number of active nodes and define a pattern. And revise the number of the active nodes with the defined pattern. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we have implemented a WBAN environment with the MATLAB. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm provides better throughput, low power consumption, and low transmission delay when compared to the slotted ALOHA of the IEEE 802.15.6.

An inseparable challenge associated with every random access network is the design of an efficient Collision Resolution Algorithm (CRA), since collisions cannot be completely avoided in such network. To maximize the collision resolution efficiency of a popular CRA, namely Binary Exponential Backoff (BEB), we propose a reactive backoff algorithm. The proposed backoff algorithm is reactive in the sense that it updates the contention window based on the previously selected backoff value in the failed contention stage to avoid a typical type of collision, referred as cross-collision. Cross-collision would occur if the contention slot pointed by the currently selected backoff value appeared to be present in the overlapped portion of the adjacent (the previous and the current) windows. The proposed reactive algorithm contributes to significant performance improvements in the network since it offers a supplementary feature of Cross Collision Exclusion (XCE) and also retains the legacy collision mitigation features. We formulate a Markovian model to emulate the characteristics of the proposed algorithm. Based on the solution of the model, we then estimate the throughput and delay performances of WLAN following the signaling mechanisms of the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) considering IEEE 802.11b system parameters. We validate the accuracy of the analytical performance estimation framework by comparing the analytically obtained results with the results that we obtain from the simulation experiments performed in ns-2. Through the rigorous analysis, based on the validated model, we show that the proposed reactive cross collision exclusionary backoff algorithm significantly enhances the throughput and reduces the average packet delay in the network.

본 논문에서는 혼합예약요청(hybrid reservation request) 알고리즘을 적용한 새로운 동적 예약 TDMA 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안된 혼합 예약 요청 알고리즘은 기존의 랜덤접속방식과 기지국의 중재 없이 단말간 직접 신호교환을 통하여 이웃 단말의 새로운 예약 요청을 대신 전송하는 방식을 혼합해서 사용하는 방법이다. 이 알고리즘은 기존 slotted-ALOHA 방식을 이용한 예약 요청의 비효율성을 개선하여 새로운 단말의 예약 요청실패로 인한 셀 전송지연 및 호 봉쇄 확률(call blocking probability)을 줄이기 위한 목적으로 제안되었다. 제안한 알고리즘은 새로 전송할 데이터를 가진 단말이 많은 경우에 특히 효율적이다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 프로토콜은 모든 종류의 트래픽이 예약을 통한 전송방식으로 전송된다. 즉, 단말들로부터의 예약 요청을 바탕으로, 기지국이 스케줄링을 하여 트래픽 별로 접근 슬랏을 할당해 주는 방식이다. 이 경우, 예약 요청을 하는 방법은 새로 전송을 개시하는 단말과 이미 전송중인 단말의 경우가 다른데, 새로운 전송을 위한 예약이 필요한 단말은 제안하는 알고리즘을 이용하며, 이미 예약에 성공한 단말은 기존에 사용하던 자신의 버스트헤더(burst header)에 피기백(piggybacking)하는 방법을 이용한다. 제안한 알고리즘에 따라, 새로 접속하는 단말이나 새로운 예약 요청이 필요한 단말은 두 단계로 요청을 전송할 수 있다. 첫 번째 단계는 이미 예약에 성공하여 전송중인 이웃단말에게 전송요청신호를 보내 간접적으로 기지국에게 예약을 요청하는 방법이며, 두 번째 단계는 첫 번째 방법이 실패했을 경우 기존의 랜덤접속방법에 참가하는 것이다 먼저 첫 번째 방법에서는 단말이 랜덤접근 구간의 예약요청구간(resonation request)중 하나의 미니 슬랏을 선택해 이웃 단말들에게 한번 방송(broadcast) 한다 이후 ACK 응답구간(ACK receive)에서 응답을 받으면 예약요청성공이라 간주하고, 그렇지 않으면 실패로 판단, 뒤이어 오는 랜덤접근구간(normal random access period)에 참가하여 기지국에게 직접 예약 요청을 한다. 시뮬레이션은 기존 slotted-ALOHA방식으로 랜덤 접속을 할 경우와 제안한 방식과의 성공률을 비교해 제안한 방식의 call blocking probability가 낮음을 보였다.
