Outline • Introduction • Related Work • USAP(Unifying Slot Assignment Protocol) • USAP-MA(USAP-Multiple Access) • ASAP(Asaptive Slot Assignment Protocol) • E-ASAP (Extend ASAP) • Simulation Results • Conclusion
Introduction • Motivation • E-ASAP prevents the excessive increase of unassigned slots • By minimizing each node’s frame length.
The first slot in each frame is reserved to transmit control packet Related Work- USAP(Unifying Slot Assignment Protocol) MILCOM’96 N frames=Cycle M slots
Related Work- USAP(Unifying Slot Assignment Protocol) MILCOM’96 • When a new node joins the network • It firstly collects NMOPs by listening the network channel for a cycle • It recognizes the slot assignments in its contention area. • Disadvantage of USAP • N(frame) and M(slot) should be large enough • The channel utilization usually becomes low • Due to a large number of unassigned slots.
Related Work- USAP-MA(USAP-Multiple Access) MILCOM’99 Double frame length Frame Length= 8 Frame Length= 4 Frame Length= 8 Frame Length= 4
Frame Length= 8 Frame Length= 4 Related Work- USAP-MA(USAP-Multiple Access) MILCOM’99 • Advantage of USAP-MA • USAP-MA improves the channel utilization • By reducing unassigned slots with consideration of the number of nodes and the network topology. • Disadvantage of USAP-MA • The channel utilization is still low • Unassigned slots in the later part if frame when frame length is double • USAP-MA does not offer • When and how to change the frame length • How to select a slot assigned to a new node
Related Work-ASAP(Asaptive Slot Assignment Protocol) AINA 2003 • Set the frame length for a new node • Base on the number of nodes in its contention area • Minimize the number of unassigned slots to improve the channel utilization • Packet Format • Transmit mode • Data packet (DAT) • Contain the information on the frame length and slots assigned to the sender • Maximum frame length of the sender and its neighbor
REQ A 1 B 3 C INF New node Related Work-ASAP(Asaptive Slot Assignment Protocol) AINA 2003 • Packet Format • Control mode • Request packet (REQ) • Arequests the information on the frame length and assigned slots of all nodes in its contention area. • Information packet (INF) • Contain the information on the frame length of Band slots assigned to the sender andC • Suggestion packet (SUG) • A sends to its neighbors to announce the frame length and its assigned slot. • Reply packet (REP) • Btransmits to confirm of receiving SUG
SUG A 1 B 3 C REP New node Related Work-ASAP(Asaptive Slot Assignment Protocol) AINA 2003 • Packet Format • Control mode • Request packet (REQ) • Arequests the information on the frame length and assigned slots of all nodes in its contention area. • Information packet (INF) • Contain the information on the frame length of Band slots assigned to the sender andC • Suggestion packet (SUG) • A sends to its neighbors to announce the frame length and its assigned slot. • Reply packet (REP) • Btransmits to confirm of receiving SUG
Related Work-ASAP(Asaptive Slot Assignment Protocol) AINA 2003 • Setting the frame length and grasping slot assignment • After collecting INFs from all neighbors, new node sets its frame length. • New node adopts the maximum frame length among all nodes in the contention area Frame Length= 4 Frame Length= 8
Related Work-ASAP(Asaptive Slot Assignment Protocol) • Selecting an assigned slot • Getting an unassigned slot (GU) • Releasing multiple assigned slots (RMA) • Doubling the frame (DF) Double
Related Work-ASAP(Asaptive Slot Assignment Protocol) • Disadvantage of ASAP • Frame length in the whole network tends to increase • Frame length of a new node is set as the maximum frame length among nodes in its contention area.
E-ASAP (Extend ASAP) • Each node assigns a slot to itself in the frame of the minimum length Frame Length= 8 6 d 1 i h c 1 2 g j 3 4 f 5 Frame Length= 4

Unassigned slot Multiple slots a b a b d c a b e E-ASAP (Extend ASAP)-Slot Assignment • Steps: • New node collects INFstransmitted by its neighbors • Try to assign a slot to itself in the minimum frame length of 4 slots • New node searches a slot • Getting an unassigned slot (GU) • If the first slot is not assigned to any neighbors, and some unassigned slots are found. • Releasing multiple assigned slots (RMA) • If the first slot is not assigned to any neighbors and all the other slots are assigned to other nodes in its contention area • Doubling the frame (DF) • If no slot is available in the current frame length, new node doubles the frame and tries again to assign a slot • RMA and GU

conflict E-ASAP (Extend ASAP)-Detecting of conflict c 1 d 3 2 3 5 e a f g 4 4 b New node
E-ASAP (Extend ASAP)-Solution to solve conflict • Deleting a conflicting slot • Divide the assignment Delete slot 3 of a Divide slots
E-ASAP (Extend ASAP)-Solution to solve conflict • Doubling the frame and dividing the assignment Double Frame Length= 8 Frame Length= 4 Frame Length= 8
E-ASAP (Extend ASAP)-Releasing Slot Assignment • When a node exits from the network • It releases slots assigned to itself, and its neighbors detect the exit • After reconfiguring the slot assignment information • The neighbors of the exiting node temporarily release their own assigned slots • And search for slots that can be assigned to themselves by Getting an unassigned slot (GU) • If a neighbor finds a slot which can assign to itself in the shorter frame than the current one • It updates its own assignment • Each neighbor updates its own assignment transmits in its contention area.
E-ASAP (Extend ASAP)-Simulation • Simulation Environment • Each node in the network does not move. • Initially 2 nodes, and this number increases one by one until 50 nodes are present. • The number of nodes then decreases one by one in the reverse order • ASAP and E-ASAP • New node listens to the channel for 128 slots for collecting information • USAP: frame length 50 slots
E-ASAP (Extend ASAP)-Simulation Average channel utilization
E-ASAP (Extend ASAP)-Simulation Control traffic
E-ASAP (Extend ASAP)-Simulation Setting delay (control mode changes to transmit mode)
E-ASAP (Extend ASAP)-Conclusion • E-ASAP is a TDMA slot assignment protocol • To improve the channel utilization. • To decreases the number of unassigned slots • Efficiently assign slots to nodes • When a node appears and disappears from the network • Future Work • To consider a frame format to accommodate the movement of nodes. • To extend E-ASAP to adapt the change of network environment • Such as traffic load
