Tighter Throughput Lower Bounds of Connectivity-Based Reliable Multicast MAC Protocol for IEEE 802.11 Wireless LANs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The connectivity-based reliable multicast MAC protocol was proposed for IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs and the formulae for the lower bounds of the multicast downlink throughput and the uplink throughput of the connectivitybased reliable multicast MAC protocol were derived in our previous study. We provide the tighter throughput lower bounds of the connectivity-based reliable multicast MAC protocol than the lower bounds presented in our previous study.

Connectivity-Based Reliable Multicast MAC Protocol for IEEE 802.11 Wireless LANs
We propose the efficient reliable multicast MAC protocol based on the connectivity information among the recipients. Enhancing the BMMM (Batch Mode Multicast MAC) protocol, the reliable multicast MAC protocol significantly reduces the RAK (Request for ACK) frame transmissions in a reasonable computational time and enhances the MAC performance. By the analytical performance analysis, the through...
متن کاملAn efficient and fair reliable multicast protocol for 802.11-based wireless LANs
Many applications are inherently multicast in nature. Such applications can benefit tremendously from reliable multicast support at the MAC layer since addressing reliability at the MAC level is much less expensive than handling errors at the upper layers. However, the IEEE 802.11 MAC layer does not support reliable multicast. This void in the MAC layer is a limiting factor in the efficacy of m...
متن کاملReliable multicast MAC protocol for wireless LANs
Reliable multicast in wireless applications is gaining importance with the development in technology. Applications like multicast file transfer, distributed computing, chat and whiteboard applications need reliability. However, due to mobility and wireless channel characteristics, obtaining reliability in data transfer is a difficult and challenging task. IEEE 802.11 does not support reliable m...
متن کاملEfficient Multicast Scheme based on Hybrid ARQ and Busy Tone for Multimedia Traffic in Wireless LANs
Multicast in wireless LANs (Local Area Networks) is very useful for transmitting multimedia traffic from a sender to a group of receivers. The IEEE 802.11 WLAN MAC (Medium Access Control) layer does not support reliable multicast since, for multicast transmissions, it has no control packets such as the RTS, CTS, and ACK, which are used for unicast transmissions. Several protocols have been prop...
متن کاملEvaluation and Improvement of Multicast Service in 802.11b
Wireless Technologies have allowed a fast growing of the Internet service in both public and private environments where wireless networks mostly consist of nodes interconnected with a fixed infrastructure; nevertheless, they do not offer a good performance in all the wide variety of services that are required for applications. Although the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol is the standard for wireless L...
