A Performance Study of EY-NPMA for Medium Access in Power Line Communications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Power Line Communications provide an efficient and inexpensive way for the creation of access or in-house networks, especially in areas where there is no dedicated preexisting cabling for communications. The choice of a suitable medium access scheme is imperative, since the MAC is the final arbiter of the efficient usage of the available network resources or not. In this paper we present a modified version of the EY-NPMA medium access scheme for power line communications, showing through simulation trials the very good characteristics of the proposed scheme.

Two Alternative Schemes to EY-NPMA for Medium Access in High Bitrate Wireless LANs
The growing penetration of WLANs in the market, as well as the wider spectrum of applications that these kinds of networks are called to support, demands the introduction of new methods for efficient medium access. Today, the two dominating paradigms in medium access control are those of dynamic assignment and contention based ones. EY-NPMA is a contention based scheme that exhibits very low co...
متن کاملPriority-Based MAC Protocol For Vehicle Collision-Avoidance System Via Inter-Vehicle Communication Networks
In this paper, we propose an approach to vehicle collision-avoidance system by broadcasting vehicles’ driving conditions via Inter-Vehicle Communication (IVC) networks. We study the use of Elimination Yield Nonpreemptive Priority Multiple Access (EY-NPMA) Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol. This protocol is used in the High Performance Radio LAN (HIPERLAN) system being developed in Europe. In...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Adaptive EY-NPMA with Variable Yield
Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) have known an impressive increase in popularity during the past decade. An important factor defining the performance of such a network is the Medium Access protocol used, which defines the efficiency with which the raw bandwidth is shared between the users. In this paper a modified version of EY-NPMA is proposed and analysed, which employs a non-constant dis...
متن کاملOn the Service Differentiation Capabilities of EY-NPMA and 802.11 DCF
Most existing WLAN access mechanisms cannot provide QoS assurances. Even those that are QoS aware can only provide relative service differentiation. Based on EY-NPMA, the HIPERLAN Medium Access Control algorithm, we propose a dynamic priority medium access scheme to provide time-bounded services. By approximating an ideal Earliest Deadline First (EDF) scheduler, the proposed scheme can offer de...
متن کاملActive Signaling for 802.11 Networks in the ns-3 Simulator
In wireless networks, wireless channels are often shared between multiple nodes, which may interfere when they transmit simultaneously. The media access control (MAC) scheme coordinates channel access between the different nodes. In this article, we focus one specific method of channel access, Elimination-Yield Non-Preemptive Priority Multiple Access, EYNPMA, which is part of the European stand...
