چکیده
In this paper we illustrate a novel Wireless Local Area Network Multiple Access Control (WLAN MAC) protocol whose allocation policy adopts a strategy similar to the token ring: the mobile stations access the channel upon receiving the token and release the channel by passing the token to the next user. The traffic is divided in two classes: Guaranteed Bandwidth (GB) and Best Effort (BE). The base station indirectly controls the traffic access by allotting the tokens and the bandwidth is shared by the same users with a decentralized contention-less protocol in case of the GB users and on a contention basis for the BE users. The MAC protocol proposed the physical layer adopts a Multicarrier Code Division Multiple Access multiplexing technique, which mitigates the linear distortions of broadband transmission and allows to divide the frequency and time resources in elementary units that can be associated to the ’token’. The specification on the average and peak delay and rate are guaranteed by limiting the number of users passing the token and fixing a deadline to release the token. At the same time, similar to a reservation based protocol, the token strategy avoids collisions and is able to guarantee efficiently the integrity of the transmitted data.

متن کاملOn the Performance Behavior of IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function
The basis of the Medium Access Control (MAC), proposed in IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless local area networks, is the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF). DCF uses Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) to resolve contention between wireless stations and to verify successful transmissions. In this work we present an analytical model of the IEEE 802.11 MAC protoco...
متن کاملMultiple token distributed loop local area networks: analysis
With increased data rates, the packet transmission time of a LAN could approach or even become less than the medium propogation delay. Performance of many LAN schemes degrades rapidly under these conditions. Generally, the overhead associated with medium access protocol increases with the increase in propogation time relative to packet transmission time. In token ring networks this overhead dep...
متن کاملPerformance Improvement of Expanded Integrated Local Area Networks (RESEARCH NOTE)
In Local Area Networks (LAN) connected together by bridges, flow control and smooth traffic in the network is very important. However, congestion at bridges can cause intensive loss of received frames. In addition, the received frames are thrown away and have to be retransmitted by the source station, which causes more congestion and massive reduction in the overall network throughput. The netw...
