CSNOMA: Carrier Sense Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access

In this paper, we investigate the possibility of the cross-layer design of a distributed random access scheme with considering physical (PHY) and multiple access control (MAC) layers, which utilizes the interference cancellation technique. In this regard, we propose a new multiple access protocol, named carrier sense non-orthogonal multiple access (CSNOMA). We consider the spatially randomly distributed interferers to realistically capture the effect of interference. The proposed protocol shows better area spectral efficiency than carrier sense multiple access (CSMA), as the node density increases. We also present a practical signaling design compatible with IEEE 802.11 DCF mode.

PROBABILISTIC CHARACTERISTICS OF WIRELESS NETWORKS WITH INFRASTRUCTURE TOPOLOGY

Based on the analysis of the operation of networks IEEE 802.11 DCF, a function is proposed for determining the probability of frame transmission to a central node depending on the number of stations operating in saturation mode. The probabilities of collisions are calculated. Using a polynomial approximations an expression is obtained for the network throughput, which explicitly depends on the number of the simultaneously operating stations.

Improvement of Network Utility and Energy Efficiency in DSME based Internet of Things Networks

This paper provides a comparison between IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.15.4e standards in the context of Internet of Things (IoT). These emerging standards are the amendments of IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.15.4 to support IoT based applications. The 802.11 has a channel access scheme, Distributed coordination function (DCF). On the other hand, IEEE 802.15.4e introduces five MAC behavior mode. Among these five modes, DSME is well suited for IoT. A comparison between these two standards is discussed in this paper by using an analytical model and are validated through ns-3 simulations. Results show that the DSME show significant improvement in the performance of DSME when compared to the legacy IEEE 802.11 DCF.
