Fairness of MAC protocols: IEEE 1901 vs. 802.11

Patrick Thiran, Julien Pierre Sacha Herzen, Christina Vlachou

The MAC layer of the IEEE 1901 standard for power line communications employs a CSMA/CA method similar to, but more complex than, this of IEEE 802.11 for wireless communications. The differences between these protocols raise questions such as which one per ...

Coexistence of Multiple HomePlug AV Logical Networks: A Measurement Based Study

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Alaeddine El Fawal, Zhang Liu

HomePlug AV (HPAV) was designed to provide high speed in-home communication with 200Mbps PHY rate, with the goal to overcome various noises over power wires and to jump from one phase to a neighboring one. A HomePlug AV Logical Networks (AVLN) is defined b ...

Neighbor discovery with reception status feedback to transmitters

Ramin Khalili

Neighbor discovery is essential for the process of self-organization of a wireless network, where almost all routing and medium access protocols need knowledge of one-hop neighbors. In this paper we study the problem of neighbor discovery in a static and s ...

Cross-Layer Based Analysis of Multi-Hop Wireless Networks

Tarik Tabet

In this work, we revisit classical packet radio networks with a modern treatment of physical-layer (PHY) procedures, medium-access (MAC) and geographic channel-driven routing protocols. Our network model assumes that nodes are randomly distributed on the p ...

Electromagnetic compatibility of power line communication systems

Ana Vukicevic

The power system has been used for communication purposes for many decades, although it was mainly the power utility companies that used low bit rates for control and monitoring purposes. In the last ten years, however, the deregulation of the power and te ...

Interference management in impulse-radio ultra-wide band networks

Ruben Merz

We consider networks of impulse-radio ultra-wide band (IR-UWB) devices. We are interested in the architecture, design, and performance evaluation of these networks in a low data-rate, self-organized, and multi-hop setting. IR-UWB is a potential physical la ...

Optimal PHY and MAC Protocols for Wide-Band Ad-Hoc Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec

We consider a wide-band ad-hoc network with coherent radios in a slow-fading environment, and we analyze the performance of different physical layer (PHY) and medium access (MAC) schemes in such a network. Most of the existing analysis assume that PHY is b ...

MAC layer functions for SLEF

Alaeddine El Fawal, Lorenzo Keller

We develop three functions around the MAC layer: (1) Pseudo broadcast is a technique used to improve throughput of broadcast transmissions in case of congested networks. The mechanism consists in sending a packet in unicast to a station using RTS/CTS. Othe ...

DOMINO: Detecting MAC layer greedy behavior in IEEE 802.11 hotspots

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Alaeddine El Fawal, Imad Aad, Maxime Raya

IEEE 802.11 works properly only if the stations respect the MAC protocol. We show in this paper that a greedy user can substantially increase his share of bandwidth, at the expense of the other users, by slightly modifying the driver of his network adapter ...

Interference Mitigation by Statistical Interference Modeling in an Impulse Radio UWB Receiver

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Manuel Flury

Some impulse radio UWB (IR-UWB) networks may allow concurrent transmissions without power control (for example MAC protocols that do not use power control, or co-exisiting, non-coordinated piconets). In such cases, it has been proposed to mitigate multi-us ...
