Physical layer metrics estimation for CSMA/CA networks using a Markov modeling and source enumeration

چکیده
The existence of multiple wireless networks with different radio access technologies and protocols makes the radio environment heterogeneous. In order to provide the best Quality of Service available from the active networks, and satisfy the concept of always best connected, one can take advantage of this heterogeneity by developing multi-mode terminals able to smartly switch from one interface to another. This switching process, known as vertical handover (VHO), requires some relevant metrics to be measured by the terminal in order to decide whether to trigger a VHO or not. Using multiple antennas, we propose to track the number of active sources and employ the results in CSMA/CA networks for VHO. The proposed algorithm is developed using a Markov chain model for sources enumeration at any given time. We also use a three state Markov model for CSMA/ CA networks and show how this algorithm can be applied to recursively obtain two informative metrics about the channel state, namely the channel occupancy rate and the collision rate. Numerical simulations confirm that the proposed algorithm performs well for practical SNR values. The proposed algorithm relies on a physical layer sensing and requires no connection to the access point, no synchronization, no signal demodulation and no frame decoding. This particularity ensures a seamless handover with a time/

Cross-layer Design of CSMA/CA with Spectrum Sensing for Cognitive Radio Networks
We devise a cross-layer design (CLD) of carrier sensing multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) at the medium access control (MAC) layer with spectrum sensing (SpSe) at the physical layer for cognitive radio networks (CRNs). The proposed CLD relies on a Markov chain model with a state pair containing both the SpSe and the CSMA/CA with exponential backoff from which we derive the tran...
متن کاملCross Layer Analysis of Spectrum Sensing in the Cognitive Radio Paradigm
In this paper, the performance of the carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) protocol at MAC layer with sensing errors at physical layer is investigated. Here the sensing errors are captured by modifying the Markov chain model widely used for the CSMA/CA analysis called Bianchi’s model. We investigate the throughput as a function of carrier sensing error probabilities:...

متن کاملPerformance comparison of land change modeling techniques for land use projection of arid watersheds
The change of land use/land cover has been known as an imperative force in environmental alteration, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. This research was mainly aimed to assess the validity of two major types of land change modeling techniques via a three dimensional approach in Birjand urban watershed located in an arid climatic region of Iran. Thus, a Markovian approach based on two suit...
متن کاملArrival probability in the stochastic networks with an established discrete time Markov chain
The probable lack of some arcs and nodes in the stochastic networks is considered in this paper, and its effect is shown as the arrival probability from a given source node to a given sink node. A discrete time Markov chain with an absorbing state is established in a directed acyclic network. Then, the probability of transition from the initial state to the absorbing state is computed. It is as...
