Frame Size Adaptive MAC Protocol in Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks

Feedback-assisted MAC protocol for real time traffic in high rate wireless personal area networks

During the past decade, there has been much standardization effort for indoor or shot-range networks, as communication devices and applications for such networks populate. As a prominent example of these activities, the IEEE 802.15.3 Task Group (TG) published a standard for high-rate wireless personal area network (HR-WPAN). To support strictly timed multimedia services, the TG adopts a time-sl...

The IEEE 802.15.3 MAC: Enabling High-Rate Multimedia Applications in Wireless Personal Area Networks

The proliferation of consumer devices with high processing and storage capabilities has created a tremendous demand for high-speed wireless networking. The IEEE 802.15.3 working group is tasked with developing key technologies to meet these demands and has thus far standardized a new medium access control (MAC) and is working towards standardizing a new ultra wide-band (UWB) technology that off...

HMC-MAC Protocol for High Data Rate Wireless Sensor Networks

Using multiple channels in wireless sensor networks helps increase the overall throughput and avoid interferences. In addition, introducing multi-interface nodes further helps in increasing the packet delivery rate for those specific nodes. In this paper, we evaluate a channel allocation method based on neighborhood discovery up to 3 hops and a hybrid MAC protocol designed for high data rate wi...

Adaptive MAC Protocol for Throughput Enhancement in Multihop Wireless Networks

In the paper, we propose a dynamic transmission scheduling protocol for multi-hop wireless networks by combining a fixed scheduling scheme with a simple p-persistent approach. In a fixed scheduling scheme, a predetermined schedule is assigned to each wireless node before transmitting data, and this schedule will be used permanently. However, in the proposed protocol, an adaptive probability-bas...
