چکیده

The IEEE 802.11 provides a MAC layer protocol for controlling competition among nodes to access the channel in wireless local area network. Recent works show that this standard has not suitable performances in mobile ad-hoc networks and especially in error prone channels. Many researchers proposed many algorithms to improve this standard like HBCWC (History Based Contention Window Control) scheme has significant performances but also has fairness problem. In this paper, we present a novel contentionbased protocol to improve fairness and throughput together. We use an array to keep history of network collision and based on array information, we optimize the contention window. The main point is that we get higher priorities to nodes had unsuccessful transmissions unlike most of researches. This helps us to solve fairness problem. Simulation results show that compared to the IEEE 802.11 DCF and HBCWC scheme, our algorithm has better performances in term of throughput, fairness, and network overhead load.

Achieving Efficient Channel Utilization and Weighted Fairness for Data Communications in IEEE 802.11 WLAN under the DCF

Fair allocation of bandwidth and maximization of channel utilization are two important issues when designing a contention-based wireless medium access control (MAC) protocol. However, achieving both design goals at the same time is very difficult, and has not yet been addressed elsewhere. In this paper, we study this challenging problem, particularly for data communications in IEEE 802.11 wirel...

A backward-compatible multiple-round collision avoidance scheme for contention based medium access control

Random-access mechanisms play an important role in wireless networks, and have been extensively studied in recent years. Although many previous studies have proposed enhanced algorithms, each one has only considered either throughput or fairness. In this paper, we propose an efficient random-access mechanism called Multi-round Collision Avoidance (MrCA) that considers throughput and fairness to...

A Novel Contention Window Control Scheme for IEEE 802.11 WLANs

In the IEEE 802.11 standard, network nodes experiencing collisions on the shared medium need a mecha‐ nism that can prevent collisions and improve the throughput. Furthermore, a backoff mechanism is used that uniformly selects a random period of time from the contention window (cw) that is dynamically controlled by the Binary Exponential Backoff (BEB) algorithm. Prior research has proved that t...

E-BEB Algorithm to Improve Quality of Service on Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks

The Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol is the main element which determines the system throughput in Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) IEEE 802.11 standard. The MAC technique of the IEEE 802.11 protocol is called Distributed Coordination Function (DCF). In DCF, stations contend for the use of the channel in distributed manner via the use of the Carrier Sensing Multiple Access with Collisio...
