Evaluation 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...
متن کاملLB-MAC: A Lifetime-Balanced MAC Protocol for Sensor Networks
This paper presents LB-MAC, a new MAC protocol for asynchronous, duty cycle sensor networks. Different from existing sensor network MAC protocols that usually focus on reducing energy consumption and extending lifetime of individual sensor nodes, LB-MAC aims at prolonging the network lifetime through balancing the nodal lifetime between neighboring sensors. LB-MAC is lightweight and scalable as...
متن کاملH-MAC: A Hybrid MAC Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks
In this paper, we propose a hybrid medium access control protocol (H-MAC) for wireless sensor networks. It is based on the IEEE 802.11’s power saving mechanism (PSM) and slotted aloha, and utilizes multiple slots dynamically to improve performance. Existing MAC protocols for sensor networks reduce energy consumptions by introducing variation in an active/sleep mechanism. But they may not provid...
متن کاملOutdoor IEEE 802.11 cellular networks: MAC protocol design and performance
— We explore the feasibility of designing an outdoor cellular network based on the IEEE 802.11 specification. Since the standard is intended for wireless local-area networks (WLAN), there are many technical challenges when applying the air interface to the outdoor environment. We study here how the 802.11 medium access control (MAC) protocol can be applied and how it performs in the outdoor net...
متن کاملTAB-MAC: Assisted beamforming MAC protocol for Terahertz communication networks
Terahertz (THz) communication is envisioned as one of the key technologies to satisfy the increasing demand for higher-speed wireless communication networks. The very high path loss at THz frequencies and the power limitations of THz transceivers limit the communication distance in THz networks. Beamforming directional antennas are needed simultaneously in transmission and in reception to commu...
