Moreover, it is compatible with the protocol used by the existing Ethernet controllers for conventional datagram traffic and thus standard Ethernet stations can be used in the system without any modification. The paper describes the protocol in detail and analyses the maximum delivery delay for real time traffic and the efficiency of the channel.展开更多

Most of the MAC protocols for wireless terrestrial communication networks have been designed with negligible propagation delay. If it is deployed directly in an underwater environment,the UANs will perform inefficiently. In this paper,the characteristics of underwater acoustic channel are modeled and simulated by using the OPNET simulation tool,which are the speed of sound, propagation loss, and four sources for ambient noise: the turbulence,shipping,wind driven waves and thermal noise. The performance of pure Aloha( P-Aloha),carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance( CSMA / CA) and multiple access collision avoidance for wireless local area network( MACAW) protocols in underwater acoustic channel environment are evaluated. The different performance of protocols in underwater environment is compared in the simulation.展开更多

It can well schedule the packet transmission according to the exact number of active Mobile Terminals (MTs) determined by selforganizing algorithm and adjust the number of packets sent by one node in one frame properly.UASMA protocol employs a special frame structure, which makes it possible to allocate channel resource to uplink and downlink traffic according to their respective service requirements. The proposed concept of referenced-frame-length can ensure the frame length varies in a certain range,and consequently increase the utilization efficiency of the channel greatly. Meanwhile, UASMA protocol uses an efficient collision resolution algorithm to guarantee that active MTs can access the channel rapidly. Finally, the performance of UASMA protocol is evaluated by simulation and it is also compared with carrier sense multiple access, rounding-poll and UPMA protocols. The results show that the UASMA has better performance than others.展开更多
