Time Saving and energy consumption has become a vital issue that attracts the attention of researchers in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) fields. According to that, there is a strong need to improve MAC protocols performance in UWSNs, particularly enhancing the effectiveness of ALOHA Protocol. In this paper, a time-saving Aloha protocol with slotted carrier sense proposed which we c...

We report an investigation into the effect of using smart antennas on the performance of the slotted ALOHA protocol with capture in a mobile communications environment with Rayleigh and Log-normal fading. Our results demonstrate that by using smart antennas, we can achieve higher performance in terms of capture probability and throughput when compared to a conventional antenna system using the ...

In this paper we present a new multiple access protocol based on DS-CDMA and slotted Aloha random access protocol with reservation for integrated voice and data transmission in packet personal communication networks (PCN). Speech activity detection is assumed for voice terminals who will relinquish their codes during their silence periods to be used by the data terminals. The code will be retur...

In wireless communication networks, when the workload increases, sources become more aggressive at the equilibrium in the game setting in comparison with the team problem by using slotted Aloha mechanism. Consequently, more packets are in collision and are lost. To reduce these phenomena and to enhance the performance of the networks, we propose to combine ZigZag decoding approach with non coop...

We consider the channel aware slotted ALOHA protocol that has been recently proposed to improve the capacity of the traditional slotted ALOHA by using multi-user diversity. This type of diversity is commonly used in scheduling policies that allow terminals to transmit when their channel conditions are good. Here, we focus on a decentralized random access protocol where users decide to transmit ...

Acoustic underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSN) have recently gained attention as a topic of research. Such networks are characterized by increased uncertainty in medium access due not only to when data is sent, but also due to significantly different propagation latencies from spatially diverse transmitters—together, we call these space-time uncertainty. We find that the throughput of slot...

osting by E Abstract It is expected that many networks will be providing services at a time in near future and those will also produce different interfering signals for the current Slotted ALOHA based systems. A random packet destruction Denial of Service (DoS) attacking signal can shut down the Slotted ALOHA based networks easily. Therefore, to keep up the services of Slotted ALOHA based syste...

The speed of a bus network is often specified by the Abstract parameter a, which denotes the end-to-end propagation delay normalized with respect to the We study the performance of the slotted ALOIH A average packet transmission time. With current multiple access protocol in a high speed bidirectional technology and cost trends, typical values of a in most passive bus network, where transmissio...

A new MAC protocol which supports peer-to-peer direct communication is introduced for a packet switched wireless network. Terminals that are located within range of each other and are sufficiently isolated from the base station can communicate with their peers directly without the use of the base station as a relay. Slotted Aloha is used as the access protocol. Throughput and delay of the proto...
