“…For instance, approaches for network programmability [11] such as Software-Defined Radio (SDR) [56], [57], [58] or programmable MAC protocols [59], [60], [61] may be used to circumvent this challenge. In these proposals a generic API is provided to develop new wireless protocols (or modify existing ones) over generic radio transmitters or vendor-specific wireless devices.…”

Abstract-New architectural and design approaches for Radio Access Networks have appeared with the introduction of network virtualization in the wireless domain. One of these approaches splits the wireless network infrastructure into isolated virtual slices under their own management, requirements and characteristics. Despite the advances in wireless virtualization, there are still many open issues regarding the resource allocation and isolation of wireless slices. Because of the dynamics and shared nature of the wireless medium, guaranteeing that the traffic on one slice will not affect the traffic on the others has proven to be difficult. In this work, we focus on the detailed definition of the problem, discussing its challenges. We also provide a review of existing works that deal with the problem, analyzing how new trends such as SDN and NFV can assist in the slicing. We will finally describe some research challenges on this topic.

“…The WMP implementation allows easy generation of the beacon pattern by generating packets of predefined length at specific moments. For the IEEE802.15.4 nodes, a TDMA has been implemented in TAISC 4 , which is an architecture for easy MAC protocol creation [13]. By modifying the existing TDMA protocols, it became possible to detect the energy beacon.…”

Abstract-When different technologies use the same frequency bands in close proximity, the resulting interference typically results in performance degradation. Coexistence methods exist, but these are often technology specific and requiring technology specific interference detection methods. To remove the root cause of the performance degradation, devices should be able to negotiate medium access even when using different technologies. To this end, this paper proposes an architecture that allows crosstechnology medium access by means of a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) scheme. In order to achieve cross-technology synchronization, which is required for the TDMA solution, an energy pattern beacon is transmitted. The use of energy patterns is sufficiently technology agnostic to allow multiple technologies to negotiate between each other. The feasibility of the solution is experimentally demonstrated in a large scale testbed using 50 IEEE802.15.4 and IEEE802.11 devices, demonstrating a successful cross-technology TDMA synchronization rate of over 90%.

Coexistence methods exist, but these are often technology specific and require technology specific interference detection methods. To remove the root cause of the performance degradation, devices should be able to negotiate medium access even when using different technologies. To this end, an architecture that allows cross-technology medium access by means of a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) scheme was devised. In order to achieve cross-technology synchronization, which is required for the TDMA solution, an energy pattern beacon is transmitted. The use of energy patterns is sufficiently technology agnostic to allow multiple technologies to negotiate between each other. To showcase the feasibility of crosstechnology synchronization a demo set-up, using IEEE802.15.4 and IEEE802.11 devices in the w-iLab.t testbed, has been created. It demonstrates that the TDMA solution can successfully divide the medium between the different technologies in order to minimize cross-technology interference.
