Performance Analysis and Design: Power Saving Backoff Algorithm for IEEE 802.11 DCF
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose an approach to saving power by more aggressively using sleep mode. The sleep duration is estimated by measuring the on-line traffic information, i.e. slot utilization. A considerable amount of power can be saved by using the approach. Our approach does not use any additional signaling channel, nor does it need any overhead in the involved protocol. The algorithm is readily implementable, requiring minimum processing and memory resources.

Analysis of Unsaturation Performance of IEEE 802.11 DCF with and without Slow Contention Window Decrease
Most of analytical models proposed so far for the IEEE 802.11 distributed coordination function (DCF) focus on saturation performance. In this paper, we develop an analytic model for unsaturation performance evaluation of the IEEE 802.11 DCF with and without slow contention window decrease (SCWD). The model explicitly takes into account the carrier sensing mechanism and an additional backoff in...
متن کاملDesign and Analysis of an Adaptive Backoff Algorithm for IEEE 802.11 DCF Mechanism
This paper presents an adaptive backoff algorithm for the contentionbased Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) of the IEEE 802.11 standard. Relying on on-line measurements of the number of sources, the algorithm, called Adaptive BEB, judiciously sets the size of the minimal contention window to adapt to the congestion level in the shared medium. The paper also provides an extension to Adapti...
متن کاملSaving Energy during Channel Contention in 802.11 WLANs
We focus on energy saving in 802.11-based WLANs. Previous work has shown that, on the one hand, 802.11 wireless interfaces consume a significant amount of energy, on the other hand the use of current power management schemes can severely degrade the QoS performance of several Internet-based applications. Furthermore, the energy spent by wireless devices may even increase when the the standard 8...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Binary Negative-Exponential Backoff Algorithm in IEEE 802.11a WLAN under Erroneous Channel Condition
IEEE 802.11 is the most famous protocol for implementation of wireless local area network (WLAN). To access the medium, IEEE 802.11 uses carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) mechanism, called distributed coordination function (DCF). Although DCF uses binary exponential backoff (BEB) algorithm to avoid frame collisions, wireless resources are wasted due to a lot of co...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Impact of Mobility to the Performance of the IEEE 802.11 DCF
IEEE 802.11 series standards have been widely used to specify the MAC mechanism in wireless networks. The 802.11 DCF has not taken into account of the mobility of wireless stations, instead, it is defined based on the assumption that the mobility is not present or is very low. Mobility of wireless stations downgrades the saturation performance of the IEEE 802.11 DCF. This paper made its efforts...
