چکیده
This paper proposes a medium-access control (MAC) protocol for integrated voice/data services in local wireless communications. The proposed protocol is a hybrid of R-Aloha and Aloha reservation adapted to local wireless environment. In the proposed hybrid Aloha-reservation/R-Aloha (HAR) protocol, data messages are transmitted using Aloha-reservation protocol, whereas voice packets are transmitted according to R-Aloha on the channel assigned using Aloha reservation. The performance of the HAR protocol is analyzed by computer simulation. Simulation results prove that the HAR protocol is appropriate as a protocol for integrated services wireless networks in which computer data is major traffic and voice traffic coexists.

Multi-channel Medium Access Control Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks: A Survey
Extensive researches on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been performed and many techniques have been developed for the data link (MAC) layer. Most of them assume single-channel MAC protocols. In the usual dense deployment of the sensor networks, single-channel MAC protocols may be deficient because of radio collisions and limited bandwidth. Hence, using multiple channels can significantly ...

In this paper, we propose a novel design to exploit the synergy between the multiple-access control (MAC) layer and the physical layer of a cellular wireless system with integrated voice and data services. As in a traditional design, the physical layer (channel encoder and modulator) is responsible for providing error protection for transmitting the packets over the hostile radio channel, while...

Many performance evaluations for IEEE 802.11distributed coordination function (DCF) have been previouslyreported in the literature. Some of them have clearly indicatedthat 802.11 MAC protocol has poor performance in multi-hopwireless ad hoc networks due to exposed and hidden nodeproblems. Although RTS/CTS transmission scheme mitigatesthese phenomena, it has not been successful in thoroughlyomit...
