Abstract:

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 thoroughlyomitting these drawbacks. We argue that when eliminatinghidden node effect with a given protocol is not feasible, onemay sometimes earn more throughput by controlling or evenwisely creating this phenomenon. In this paper we propose anovel solution to improve the performance of IEEE 802.11MAC protocol in multi-hop networks through modifying NAVtimer. We may call this method Dynamic NAV (DNAV) sincethe NAV timer operation changes dynamically with the changeof environment variables. Simulation results show that ourapproach noticeably increases the throughput in multi-hopwireless ad-hoc networks.

Hop Optimization and Relay Node Selection in Multi-hop Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks

In this paper we propose an efficient approach to determine the optimal hops for multi-hop ad hoc wireless networks. Based on the assumption that nodes use successive interference cancellation (SIC) and maximal ratio combining (MRC) to deal with mutual interference and to utilize all the received signal energy, we show that the signal-tointerference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) of a node is determin...

Scalable Routing Strategies for Multi-Hop Ad-hoc Wireless Network

In this paper we consider a large population of mobile stations which are interconnected by a multihop wireless net. The applications of this wireless infrastructure range from ad hoc networking (eg, collaborative, distributed computing) to disaster recovery ((re, ood, earthquake), law enforcement (eg, crowd control), search and rescue and battleeeld. Key characteristics of this system are the ...

Wireless Multi-hop Ad-hoc Networks: A Review

Over the past decade wireless multi-hop ad-hoc networks have received a tremendous amount of research focus. Mobile devices equipped with wireless short range communication technologies make possible new applications for spontaneous communication, interaction and collaboration. The collaboration is used to facilitate communication when mobile devices are not able to establish direct communicati...

A Queuing Model of Multi-hop Wireless Ad Hoc Network with Hidden Nodes

Hidden nodes are a basic problem that can potentially influence any multi-hop wireless networks where nodes cannot hear each other. Even though the hidden node problem is well known, its effects have not been quantified so well in a comprehensive manner up to now. This paper presents a novel framework for the queuing analysis towards getting a quantitative insight into the impact of hidden node...
