Performance analysis of Block ACK-Based Slotted ALOHA for wireless networks with long propagation delay
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently, many variants of Slotted ALOHA (S-ALOHA) have been proposed to solve a problem of performance degradation in wireless networks with long propagation delay. However, they do not consider the effect of retransmission, which also largely degrades performance, and do not provide any analytical model that considers the effect. In this paper, we design a variant of S-ALOHA to support retransmission and derive analytical models that do consider its effect. The designed scheme has a framed structure that starts with a coordinators beacon. The beacon consists of a coordinators timestamp and Block ACKnowledgment (B-ACK). Using the timestamp, a node estimates propagation delay to the coordinator ( PDC ) in order to reduce guard time while transmitting a packet. Moreover, B-ACK is used to report the results of all transmissions attempted in the previous frame at once. As a result, the designed scheme can largely reduce the number of feedbacks and waste of guard time. Even if there is no analytical model that considers the long propagation delay and retransmission simultaneously, we choose the existing analytical models that consider a framed structure and B-ACK as reference models. However, they are not fully mathematical and partially use simulation results because of high computational complexity. Moreover, these models only analyze stability and throughput as performance metrics. On the other hand, our analytical models are fully mathematical models and can analyze all metrics, such as stability, throughput, and packet delay. We expect our analytical models to be a foundation for deriving fully mathematical models for variants of S-ALOHA using a framed structure and B-ACK. © 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملA receiver synchronized slotted Aloha for underwater wireless networks with imprecise propagation delay information
In a wireless network, where propagation delay is high but known, slotted Aloha (S-Aloha) is synchronized with respect to the receiver’s time slots. Since the transmitter knows the propagation delay to its receiver, after a frame is generated, the transmitter introduces a suitable delay before its transmission, such that the frame arrives exactly in a slot at the receiver. However, in an underw...
متن کاملDesign and analysis of a propagation delay tolerant ALOHA protocol for underwater networks
Acoustic underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSN) have recently gained attention as a topic of research. Such networks are characterized by increased uncertainty in medium access due not only to when data is sent, but also due to significantly different propagation latencies from spatially diverse transmitters—together, we call these space-time uncertainty. We find that the throughput of slot...
