“…It has been shown that DS capture cannot be used in general topologies [18]. The control message exchange in SCTS is similar to that in BMMM [18]. The difference between SCTS and BMMM is that SCTS broadcasts the RTS whereas BMMM separately transmits RTS to each receiver.…”

“…In this scheme, a sender transmits a packet whenever at least one receiver is ready to receive. Sun et al have proposed Batch Mode Multicast MAC (BMMM) protocol, which also implements quorum-1 multiparty scheme [18]. The unicast based multiparty policy does not exploit the broadcast nature of wireless medium, and its multiple transmissions of a packet waste power and bandwidth.…”

In multiparty MAC, a sender needs to transmit each packet to a set of receivers within its transmission range. Bandwidth efficiency of wireless multiparty MAC can be improved substantially by exploiting the fact that several receivers can be reached at the MAC layer by a single transmission. Multiparty communication, however, requires new design paradigms since systematic design techniques that have been used effectively in unicast and wireline multicast do not apply. For example, a transmission policy that maximizes the stability region of the network need not maximize the network throughput. Therefore, the objective is to design a policy that maximizes the system throughput subject to maintaining stability. We present a sufficient condition that can be used to establish the throughput optimality of a stable transmission policy. We subsequently design a distributed adaptive stable policy that allows a sender to decide when to transmit using simple computations. The computations are based only on limited information about current transmissions in the sender's neighborhood. Even though the proposed policy does not use any network statistics, it attains the same throughput as an optimal offline stable policy that uses in its decision process past, present, and even future network states. We prove the throughput optimality of this policy using the sufficient condition and the large deviation results. We present a MAC protocol for acquiring the local information necessary for executing this policy, and implement it in ns-2. The performance evaluations demonstrate that the optimal policy significantly outperforms the existing multiparty schemes in ad hoc networks. This material is posted here with permission of the IEEE.

“…Complementary to the BMW method is the Batch Mode Multicast MAC (BMMM) [15] which makes use of a new frame type called AK (Request for ACK) in order to eliminate the multiple contention phases of BMW to a single one. The RAK frame follows directly after the transmission of the RTS, instructing the receivers to send their CTS and ACKs in order.…”

Abstract-As the domain of cyber-physical systems continues to grow, an increasing number of tightly-coupled distributed applications will be implemented on top of wireless networking technologies. Some of these applications, including collaborative robotic teams, work in a coordinated fashion, whereby a distinguished node takes control decisions and sends commands to other nodes, which in turn perform the requested action/operation and send back a reply/acknowledgment. The implementation of such interactions via reliable point-to-point flows may lead to a significant performance degradation due to collisions, especially when the system operates close to the capacity of the communication channel. We propose a coordinated protocol which exploits the broadcast nature of the wireless medium in order to support this application-level interaction with a minimal number of message transmissions and predictable latency. The protocol also comes with group management functionality, allowing new processes to join and existing processes to leave the group in a controlled way. We evaluate a prototype implementation over WiFi, using a simulated setup as well as a physical testbed. Our results show that the proposed protocol can achieve significantly better performance compared to point-to-point approaches, and remains fully predictable and dependable even when operating close to the wireless channel capacity.

A Reliable and Efficient Broadcasting Scheme for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

SUMMARYThis letter proposes a busy-tone based scheme for reliable and efficient broadcasting in mobile ad hoc networks. Control packets such as RTS, CTS and ACK are ignored in the broadcast scheme, and two busy tones are used, one for channel reservation and the other for negative acknowledgement. Unlike traditional schemes for reliable broadcasting, the proposed scheme is highly efficient as it achieves both collision avoidance and fast packet loss recovery. Simulation results are presented which show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. key words: mobile ad hoc networks, media access control, reliable broadcasting, busy tone, hidden terminal problem
