  1. Two Media Access Control Protocols (MAC) for Wireless Networks

  2. The Packet Reservation Multiple Access (PRMA) protocol • PRMA is essentially a slotted ALOHA protocol. • Designed under the assumption that only speech users are present. • If a speech user has a packet to transmit and there is an idle slot he transmits his packet with probability Ps • If he succeeds(no collision), he reserves this slot for the corresponding frames until he enters silence(vertical reservation). • If not, he repeats until successful. Technical University of Crete

  3. The Integrated PRMA (IPRMA) protocol • IPRMA is a variant of PRMA trying to integrate speech and data users. • In IPRMA, data users can reserve multiple slots in a frame(horizontal reservation) but not more than k-M slots (k = free slots) Technical University of Crete

  5. Pros and Cons of IPRMA • Under low loading conditions significant improvements because a data user can transmit many packets, thus making more efficient use of the medium. • But the speech users are hampered by this scheme. • Setting M 0 is a mechanism to protect the speech users. • On the other hand, when k = M and there are no speech users but data users exist, we are wasting our resources. • Also M should be dependent on the speech traffic present, but a fixed value(M = 2) is assumed in all experiments. Technical University of Crete

  6. Determining Psand Pd • Authors determine optimal Ps by plotting max number of speech users supported under the condition Pdrop<0.01 for various values of Ps. They found Ps=0.35 for 36 speech users. • Pd is determined by making a plot of max data rate per user assuming 20 data users in the system and so they find Pd=0.08. • But the optimal values of Ps and Pd will be different when mixed load is applied in the channel. • But now we have to make more calculations to find them.

  10. The PRMA with Dynamic Allocation of available slots (PRMA/DA) protocol • This variant of PRMA is more suitable when we have speech, video and data users on the same channel (multimedia wireless networks). • Each frame is divided into available and reservation slots(unlike IPRMA). • Available slots are used to make declarations about the traffic characteristics of each source. • Reservation slots are used to transmit the actual information. • Available slots enable Call Admission Control policy.

  12. More on available and reservation slots • In PRMA/FA(Fixed Allocation) each MS takes the reservation slots it needs and the rest are available slots. • In PRMA/DA we first allocate available slots and then distribute reservation slots in each MS. • Number of available slots depends on the intensity of demand to access the network. • Number of reservation slots assigned to each MS is dependent on its statistical properties of traffic. Technical University of Crete

  13. Allocating available slots • Number of available slots should be equal to the number of contending stations, unless it affects the QoS of reserving stations. • In practice, we cannot have perfect knowledge of number of contending stations so an algorithm to estimate them is needed. Technical University of Crete

  14. Dynamic allocation of available slots • Second term is there so as not to degrade the QoS of reserving stations. Technical University of Crete

  15. Dynamic allocation of reservation slots • Once the number of available slots has been determined we allocate the reservation slots dynamically for each MS. • If ABR users don’t need all their slots they grant them to VBR users. Technical University of Crete
