用於具多封包接收能力無線網路之適應性協力式多群組優先排程MAC協定

Abstract

近年來，具有多封包接收能力的媒體存取控制（MAC）協定受到廣泛的重視，許多方案在文獻中被提出來。然而在現存方法中，系統的吞吐量仍然被固定使用者群組的通道容量限制住。擁有不同通道環境的使用者，都可以被分配到一部分的頻寬來存取通道資源。因此在大部分的情況中，資源會浪費在分配給通道環境差的使用者。為了避免缺乏效率的通道資源分配，吾人提出兩種解決方法：適應性範圍更新﹙ARU﹚方法及適應性外圍使用者引入﹙AOUI﹚方法。在該方法中，中央控制器會根據流量負載，動態調整使用者群組，使資源分配更有效率。模擬顯示吾人所提出的方法可以達到比其他具多封包接收能力的MAC協定明顯較佳的系統吞吐量性能表現。

Recently, MAC protocol designs which exploit the MPR facility draw increasing attention, and several proposals have been found in the literature. However, in practice their throughput performance is still bounded by the channel capacity of the fixed user set assumed by existing works. All users with diverse channel links are assigned a portion of bandwidth to access the channel. As a result, the channel resources allocated to the users with poor channel links are wasted in most cases. In order to avoid the waste in inefficient channel allocation to users with a poor channel condition, we propose two methods: the Adaptive Range Updating (ARU) method and the Adaptive Outer User Inclusion (AOUI) method. By dynamically adjusting the user set based on the traffic load, the central controller (CC) can allocate the channel resource more efficiently. Numerical results show that the proposed methods achieve significant improvement in network throughput compared to other MAC protocols with MPR capability.
