Decentralised multi-access MAC protocol for ad-hoc networks
In ad-hoc radio networks, mechanisms on how to access the radio channel are extremely important in order to improve network efficiency and, when needed, to guarantee QoS.
Traditionally, Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols in ad hoc networks have been designed to face off the well known
collision resolution problem. However, when using advanced signal processing techniques, general assumptions on collisions and
packet loss are no longer valid. Besides, little has been reported about MAC algorithms dealing with multiaccess channels in ad hoc networks. In this paper, we present a novel decentralized multiaccess MAC protocol for Ad Hoc networks. This MAC
protocol is an hybrid CDMA-TDMA in which a cross layer approach has been followed to dinamically adapt to the traffic load. Closed expressions for the throughput and delay of the network are presented as a function of the multipacket reception
capability of the receiver, the number of codes and the packet retransmission probability.Postprint (published version
Analysis and evaluation of decentralized multiaccess Mac for ad-hoc networks
In mobile ad-hoc radio networks, terminals are mobile and
heterogeneous, the architecture of the network is continuously
changing, communication links are packet oriented and radio
resources are scarce. Therefore, mechanisms on how to access
the radio channel are extremely important in order to improve
network efficiency and, when needed, to guarantee QoS.
However, due to these network harsh conditions, decentralized
Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols designed
specifically for ad hoc networks are scarce. In this paper we
present a novel decentralized multiaccess MAC protocol for
Ad Hoc networks. This MAC protocol is an hybrid CDMATDMA
in which a cross layer approach has been followed in
order to maximize network throughput. A theoretical analysis
of the system is presented ending up with closed expressions
for the throughput and delay of the network and some
simulations are presented to evaluate the performance of the
system.Postprint (published version
