A multi-channel medium access control protocol for multicast in mobile ad-hoc network

چکیده
In mobile ad-hoc network, some multi -channel MAC protocols utilize multiple channels to reduce the collision of wireless transmission and thus get high throughput. These multi channel MAC protocols aim at improving the performance of unicast communication, and multicast data are generally transmitted through broadcast. So multicast can’t benefit from the multi -channel technique. This paper proposes a multi channel media access control protocol for multicast(MCMAC) which uses multi-channel techniques to improve multicast performance. MCMAC and multicast routing protocols can cooperate well through some simple interfaces and each protocols keeps its independence. To improve the reliability of MAC layer, we also developed a reliable multi -channel MAC protocol for multicast(RMCMAC). Taking ODMRP[2] as an example of multicast routing protocols, we evaluate the multicast performance of MCMAC and RMCMAC for ad hoc networks via detailed simulation.

In this thesis, we study di erent aspects of communication protocols for mobile ad hoc networks. Our goal is to provide analytical models for each of these aspects and to combine the models in order to evaluate the entire system's performance. We consider protocols of all layers starting from medium access control. We begin our study with the IEEE 802.11 protocol and we show via analytical mean...

We present a new medium-access control protocol for ad hoc networks that does not require carrier sensing or the preassignment of unique codes to nodes to ensure that intended receivers receive unicast, or multicast, or broadcast data packets without interference from hidden sources. We call this new protocol channel hopping access with trains (CHAT). CHAT combines the notion of packet trains w...
