A simple and effective backoff scheme for the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) based on the IEEE 802.11 have been widely implemented in most commercial products available in the market. This paper proposes a simple and effective contention window-resetting scheme, named Double Increment Double Decrement (DIDD), to improve the performance of the contention based IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF). An alternative mathematical analysis for the proposed scheme is developed based on elementary conditional probability arguments rather than bi-dimensional Markov chains. Performance results are presented to identify the improvement of DIDD in terms of throughput and packet drop comparing to the Binary Exponential Backoff (BEB) utilized in the legacy IEEE 802.11 DCF.

A New Hybrid Channel Access Scheme for Ad Hoc Networks
Many contention-based channel access schemes have been proposed for multi-hop ad hoc networks in the recent past and they can be divided into two categories, sender-initiated and received-initiated, according to the collision avoidance handshake in use. Sender-initiated scheme is adopted in the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol, which is by far the most popular and studied protocol. However, the IEEE 80...

in wireless ad-hoc network, backoff is traditionally based on the IEEE binary exponential backoff algorithm. As wireless ad-hoc network is usually used in the critical situation, its efficiency and performance is significant. Since MAC is the fundamental layer the design of an efficient and high performance underlying MAC protocol is significant for the overall performance of the ad-hoc network...
متن کاملModified Backoff Algorithm considering Priority in IEEE 802.11
The IEEE 802.11 MAC uses DCF for media access among the participating network nodes. But DCF alone is neither capable nor suitable for fulfilling the QoS requirements of real-time applications. There are many ways in which QoS is provided by modifying DCF based MAC. This paper proposes the modified MAC protocol which is based on IEEE 802.11 and (m,k)-firm scheme tries to improve DCF functionali...

IEEE 802.11 is worldwide implemented and the most widely deployed protocol for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). This paper proposes a simple and effective contention window-resetting scheme, named Double Increment Double Decrement (DIDD), to improve the performance of IEEE 802.11 Binary Exponential Backoff (BEB) under an error-prone environment. Our work becomes important and meaningful in...
متن کاملDiagnosing and Penalizing MAC Layer Misbehavior in Wireless Networks
Wireless Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols such as IEEE 802.11 use distributed contention resolution mechanisms for sharing the wireless channel. In this environment, selfish hosts that fail to adhere to the MAC protocol may obtain an unfair share of the channel bandwidth. For example, IEEE 802.11 requires nodes competing for access to the channel to wait for a “backoff” interval, randomly ...
