Multiple Access in Ad-Hoc Wireless LANs with Noncooperative Stations

چکیده
A class of contention-type MAC protocols (e.g., CSMA/CA) relies on random deferment of packet transmission, and subsumes a deferment selection strategy and a scheduling policy that determines the winner of each contention cycle. This paper examines contention-type protocols in a noncooperative an ad-hoc wireless LAN setting, where a number of stations self-optimise their strategies to obtain a more-than-fair bandwidth share. Two scheduling policies, called RT/ECD and RT/ECD-1s, are evaluated via simulation It is concluded that a well-designed scheduling policy should invoke a noncooperative game whose outcome, in terms of the resulting bandwidth distribution, is fair to non-self-optimising stations.

The emergence of portable computing devices such as laptops, palmtops and personal digital assistants (PDAs) has fuelled the demand for mobile connectivity and hence, led to the development of wireless local area networks (LANs). Wireless LANs offer users increased mobility and flexibility compared with traditional wired networks, and may be classified as either infrastructure wireless or ad ho...
متن کاملMAC Contention in a Wireless LAN with Noncooperative Anonymous Stations
In ad hoc wireless LANs populated by mutually impenetrable groups of anonymous stations, honest stations are prone to "bandwidth stealing" by selfish stations. The problem is addressed at the MAC level by postulating that (i) honest stations use a carefully designed contention strategy teaching selfish stations that the best reply is to stick to the same strategy, and (ii) a verifiable winner p...

— Ad hoc networks formed without the aid of any established infrastructure are typically multi-hop networks. Location dependent contention and " hidden terminal " problem make priority scheduling in multi-hop networks significantly different from that in wireless LANs. Most of the prior work related to priority scheduling addresses issues in wireless LANs. In this paper, priority scheduling in ...

The IEEE 802.11 wireless local area networks (WLANs) standard supports several equal-capacity communication channels which can be simultaneously shared and accessed by mobile stations. In such multichannel communication system, a mobile station basically can transmit on any of these channels based on a suitable access control protocol. However, with the feature of one transceiver per mobile sta...
