Abstract

Until now, much research on cooperative communications to increase system throughput at Ad Hoc networks has been provided. In this paper, in order to enhance system throughput much more at Ad Hoc networks, a network coding-enabled new MAC protocol, called NC-MAC protocol, is proposed and its performance is evaluated with a mathematical approach. Numerical results show that this scheme provides conspicuously enhanced system throughput compared to DCF scheme, and more increased system throughput by 48% than rDCF and CO-MAC schemes.

최근에는 Ad Hoc 네트워크에서 시스템 성능을 더욱 향상시키기 위해 협력통신에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되었다. 본 논문에서는 시스템 성능을 더욱 개선하기 위하여 협력통신을 지원하는 망구조에서 네트워크 코딩을 지원하는 NC-MAC 프로토콜을 제안하고 확률을 이용한 수학적인 접근방법을 사용하여 성능평가를 수행하였다. 도출된 성능평가 결과를 통해 IEEE 802.11 표준인 DCF 기법에 비해 시스템 처리량이 월등히 개선되며, 기존 연구에서 제안된 rDCF 기법 및 CO-MAC 기법보다도 최대 48%까지 시스템 처리량 성능이 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다.
