Survey of multi-channel MAC protocols for IEEE 802.11-based wireless Mesh networks

This paper reviews multi-channel media access control（MAC） protocols based on IEEE 802.11 in wireless Mesh networks（WMNs）.Several key issues in multi-channel IEEE 802.11-based WMNs are introduced and typical solutions proposed in recent years are classified and discussed in detail.The experiments are performed by network simulator version 2（NS2） to evaluate four representative algorithms compared with traditional IEEE 802.11.Simulation results indicate that using multiple channels can substantially improve the performance of WMNs in single-hop scenario and each node equipped with multiple interfaces can substantially improve the performance of WMNs in multi-hop scenario.

用于无线网络中违规行为检测的退避算法

无线媒体访问控制协议通常使用分布式竞争机制来共享无线信道。通过对IEEE802.11协议的分布式协调功能机制进行修改,提出一种改进的退避算法,可实现对网络中的违规行为节点的有效检测,并通过惩罚机制加以纠正。仿真结果表明,该方法能够更有效地检测出无线网络中的违规行为,提高整个网络的吞吐量。
