The original power controlled multiple access (PCMA) protocol does not support service differentiation. In this paper, we extend PCMA to form a new media access control protocol supporting service differentiation in mobile ad hoc networks. To support QoS, we first introduce the in-station access category concept in 802.11e to PCMA. For service differentiation between access categories, our majo...

mobile ad hoc networks (manet) are constructed by mobile nodes without access point. since manet has certain constraints, including power shortages, an unstable wireless environment and node mobility, more power-efficient and reliable routing protocols are needed. the olsr protocol is an optimization of the classical link state algorithm. olsr introduces an interesting concept, the multipoint r...

Distributed hard real-time systems are characterized by communication messages associated with timing constraints, typically in the form of deadlines. A message should be received at the destination before its deadline expires. Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) appears to be one of the most common communication network access schemes that can be used in distribute...

Ad hoc networks consist of a group of wireless nodes that dynamically form a multihop network via shared communication channels. For each node, channel access is managed by a media access control (MAC) protocol. MAC protocols can be classified into three broad categories: contention, allocation, and hybrid protocols that combine the contention and allocation access schemes. ADAPT is a hybrid pr...

In this paper we present a new multiple access protocol based on DS-CDMA and slotted Aloha random access protocol with reservation for integrated voice and data transmission in packet personal communication networks (PCN). Speech activity detection is assumed for voice terminals who will relinquish their codes during their silence periods to be used by the data terminals. The code will be retur...

This document specifies a set of methods, headers, message bodies, properties, and reports that define Access Control extensions to the WebDAV Distributed Authoring Protocol. This protocol permits a client to read and modify access control lists that instruct a server whether to allow or deny operations upon a resource (such as HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) method invocations) by a given p...

We propose a new multiple access control (MAC) protocol based on complementary code-code division multiple access (CCCDMA) technology to resolve collisions among access-request packets in an ultra-wideband wireless personal area network (UWB WPAN) system. We design a new access-request packet to gain higher bandwidth utilization and ease the requirement on system timing. The new MAC protocol is...

This paper develops and evaluates the performance of an advanced multiple access protocol for transmission of full complement of multimedia signals consisting of various combinations of voice, video, data, text and images over wireless networks. The protocol is called Advanced Multiple Access Protocol for Multimedia Transmission (AMAPMT) and is to be used in the Data Link Layer of the protocol ...

An Adaptive Reservation Time Division Multiple Access (AR-TDMA) control protocol for Wireless Asynchronous Transfer Mode (WATM) networks is proposed in this paper. AR-TDMA combines the advantages of distributed access and centralised control for transporting Constant Bit Rate (CBR), Variable Bit Rate (VBR) and Available Bit Rate (ABR) traffic efficiently over a wireless channel. The contention ...
