Collision-free Operation in High Density WLAN Deployments
نویسندگان
چکیده
WiFi’s popularity has led to crowded scenarios composed of many Access Points (AP) and clients, often operating on overlapping channels, producing interference that gravely degrades performance. This misallocation of resources is often the result of multiple WLANs ownership, that is, networks are frequently setup automatically without considering neighbouring APs. In this work we overview the effect of Overlapping BSS (OBSS) from the perspective of the MAC layer, taking special interest on describing the advantages of eliminating collisions with Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Enhanced Collision Avoidance (CSMA/ECA). We propose a single Access Point (AP) and several multi-AP scenarios, including the residential building example proposed for testing the upcoming IEEE 802.11ax amendment. Results using the first NS-3 implementation of CSMA/ECA reveal the advantage of CSMA/ECA’s deterministic backoff contention technique, confirming its suitability for very crowded scenarios.

OF THE DISSERTATION Performance Improvements for Unplanned High Density Wireless LANs by Mesut Ali Ergin Dissertation Director: Marco Gruteser Chaotic unplanned IEEE 802.11 WLAN deployments are becoming the norm and such residential deployments have many nearby access points (APs) and stations on the same channel, either due to lack of coordination or insufficient available channels. Thus, inte...
متن کاملInterference Reduction in High Density WLAN Deployments using antenna Selection
In this work, we present a novel, robust scheme for high density WLAN deployments. This scheme uses well known selection diversity at the transmitter. We show that our scheme increases the number of simultaneous transmissions at any given time without excessive overhead (compared to other schemes such as Multi-user MIMO). Furthermore, this scheme can be easily implemented using existing standards.
متن کاملTowards a Collision-Free WLAN: Dynamic Parameter Adjustment in CSMA/E2CA
Carrier sense multiple access with enhanced collision avoidance (CSMA/ECA) is a distributed MAC protocol that allows collisionfree access to the medium in WLANs. The only difference between CSMA/ECA and the well-known CSMA/CA is that the former uses a deterministic backoff after successful transmissions. Collision-free operation is reached after a transient state during which some collisions ma...
متن کاملDecentralised Learning MACs for Collision-free Access in WLANs
By combining the features of CSMA and TDMA, fully decentralised WLAN MAC schemes have recently been proposed that converge to collision-free schedules. In this paper we describe a MAC with optimal long-run throughput that is almost decentralised. We then design two scheme that are practically realisable, decentralised approximations of this optimal scheme and operate with different amounts of s...
متن کاملEffects of shear and bulk viscosity on head-on collision of localized waves in high density compact stars
Head on collision of localized waves in cold and dense hadronic matter with and without shear and bulk viscosities is investigated. Non-relativistic dynamics of propagating waves is studied using the hydrodynamics description of the system and suitable equation of state. It will be shown that the localized waves are described by solutions of the Burgers equation. Simulations show that the propa...
