Performance of a Propagation Delay Tolerant ALOHA Protocol for Underwater Wireless Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyze a propagation delay tolerant ALOHA (PDT-ALOHA) protocol proposed recently for underwater networks [16]. In this scheme, guard-bands are introduced at each slot to reduce collisions between senders with different distances to the receiver. We prove some interesting properties concerning the performance of this protocol and show how it varies with key application and protocol parameters such as maximum propagation delay, traffic load, and the guard-band. Although it turns out that exact expressions for the maximum throughput of PDT-ALOHA can be quite complicated, we propose a useful simple expression which is shown numerically to be a very good approximation.

Design 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...

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...
