The MAC protocol is important, especially for wireless LAN because of limited bandwidth. A great deal of research has been carried out and some of proposed schemes are effective. Specifically, considerable effort has been devoted to improving the IEEE 802.11 standard which is utilized widely. Previous theoretical analysis gave the upper bound of IEEE 802.11 DCF throughput which is far below the channel...
The bandwidth in wireless networks is usually shared by a number of wireless nodes. The channel capacity depends on the number of accessing nodes, time, environmental conditions and location of nodes. Due to varying channel conditions, several issues are observed in the transmission of real time multimedia. The existing research on multimedia streaming can be classified into adaptation techniques...
A prioritized medium access control (PMAC) protocol is proposed for wireless sensor networks, based on a binary count down approach. PMAC effectively eliminates data collision and optimizes channel allocation. Moreover, as many networks nowadays compose traffic with several priorities, the simple yet effective design of PMAC offers strict service differentiation for prioritized packets. In this paper,...
In this paper we discuss and analyze an enhanced media access control (MAC) layer protocol which uses the signaling method benefits of physical layer in order to provide different quality of service (QoS) levels in optical code-division multiple-access (OCDMA) packet networks. In the proposed network architecture the users are categorized into the high and low classes of service. Users of each class...
