A Hidden Node Aware Network Allocation Vector Management System for Multi-hop Wireless Ad hoc Networks
Many performance evaluations for IEEE 802.11distributed coordination function (DCF) have been previouslyreported in the literature. Some of them have clearly indicatedthat 802.11 MAC protocol has poor performance in multi-hopwireless ad hoc networks due to exposed and hidden nodeproblems. Although RTS/CTS transmission scheme mitigatesthese phenomena, it has not been successful in thoroughlyomit...
متن کاملRTS/CTS-induced congestion in ad hoc wireless LANs
The RTS/CTS mechanism is widely used in wireless networks in order to avoid packet collisions and, thus, achieve high throughput. In ad hoc networks, however, the current implementation of the RTS/CTS mechanism may lead to interdependencies so that nodes become unable to transmit any packets during long periods of time. This effect manifests itself in the form of congestion where, after a certa...
متن کاملDynamic Distributed Contention Window Control in Wireless Ad Hoc LANs
The IEEE DCF 802.11 is currently used as WLAN standard. The standard specifies the contention-based MAC mechanism, Distributed Coordination Function (DCF), which allows to share the wireless channel. In the DCF each node picks a random contention slot from the uniform distribution over the [lower bound, upper bound] interval, where the lower bound always equals 0 and the upper bound equals an i...
متن کاملMultiple Access in Ad-Hoc Wireless LANs with Noncooperative Stations
A class of contention-type MAC protocols (e.g., CSMA/CA) relies on random deferment of packet transmission, and subsumes a deferment selection strategy and a scheduling policy that determines the winner of each contention cycle. This paper examines contention-type protocols in a noncooperative an ad-hoc wireless LAN setting, where a number of stations self-optimise their strategies to obtain a ...
متن کاملEvaluation of a BIBD Based Directional MAC Protocol for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
The use of directional antennas in wireless ad hoc networks can significantly improve global performance due to a high spatial channel reuse. Nevertheless, its introduction poses new location dependent problems related to the MAC protocol. In this paper, the Balanced Incomplete Block Design theory has been exploited to develop a new MAC protocol for wireless ad hoc networks using directional ant...
