摘要
En 中文
In this paper, we develop medium access control (MAC) schemes for both contention and contention-free accesses over wireless local area networks and give performance analysis of these MAC protocols. User detection and multirate adaptation (MRA) modules are proposed in the physical layer (PHY) to assist link differentiation. With these two modules, for contention accesses, a new distributed queuing MAC protocol (PALD-DQMP) is proposed. Based on different users' channel states, PALD-DQMP makes use of a distributed queuing system to schedule transmissions. To support multimedia transmissions, an enhanced PALD-DQMP (E-PALD-DQMP) is designed by providing two-level optimized transmission scheduling for four access categories, thus eliminating both external and internal collisions among mobile stations. For contention-free accesses, based on the same PHY-assisted link differentiation provided by the two modules, a new multipolling MAC protocol (PALD-MPMP) Is proposed, which not only reduces the polling overhead but also prioritizes transmissions according to their delay requirements. Performance analysis and simulation results show that our proposed protocols outperform the standard MAC protocols for both delay-sensitive and best-effort traffics. All these improvements are mainly attributed to the awareness of cross-layer channel state information and the consequent MRA scheme.
