  1. Fundamentals of Computer NetworksECE 478/578 Lecture #10: Multiple Access in Wireless Networks Instructor: LoukasLazos Dept of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Arizona

  2. Wireless Access Protocols Each node has a fixed range Nodes use omni-directional antennas Can we use CSMA? What about reservations? Problem: Feedback Mechanism

  3. The Hidden Terminal Problem A B C D

  4. The Exposed Terminal Problem A B C D

  5. Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance RTS A B C D CTS Addressing the Hidden Terminal Problem

  6. Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance RTS CTS A B C D CTS RTS Addressing the Exposed Terminal Problem

  7. Distributed Coordination Function • Senses channel for DIFS (Distributed Interframe Space) • If busy backoff random time, else • Sender sends RTS with NAV (Network Allocation Vector) • Receiver acknowledges via CTS after SIFS (Short interframe space) • CTS reserves channel for sender, notifying possibly hidden stations; • any station hearing CTS should be silent for NAV • Sender can now send data at once DIFS RTS data sender SIFS SIFS CTS receiver DIFS NAV (RTS) data other stations NAV (CTS) t defer access new contention

  8. Can Collisions be useful? Zig-zag decoding

  9. Implementation Issues Finding the beginning of each packet in a collision Use the preamble to find the start of each packet

  10. Implementation Issues Obtaining matching collisions Use the correlation to find the start of Pb, then use the header bits to ensure that Pb’ = Pb Resolving more than two collisions

  11. What if Multiple Channels are Available? ACK (1) ACK (2) D A B C D CTS (1) CTS (2) RTS (1, 2, 5, 7) RTS (2, 5, 7)

  12. Possible Solution Force everyone to switch to a common control channel for negotiation of channel assignment Delay in the channel assignment, wasted bandwidth Throughput of control channel becomes a bottleneck
