  2. Outline • Introduction • Goals • The Proposed MAC Protocol • Simulation • Conclusion

  3. Introduction • How to provide robust communication over fading channels is a crucial challenge in wireless networks • cooperative communications achieve spatial diversity and thereby reduce the negative effects of fading on wireless channels

  4. Introduction • Deploying cooperativerelays in large-scale wireless networks lead to : • Anelevated level of interference • Degradedthroughput • Higher packet losses • Multiple channel • mitigate the wirelessinterference

  5. Goals • Designing a protocol • Integrate the capabilities of both cooperativecommunications and multiple channels into wireless networks

  6. The Proposed MAC Protocol • CoopMC MAC protocol • There are C channels in the network • Each node (source, destination and relay) is equipped with two half-duplex interface • Cooperative link • Direct path • Relay path • Assume that each source node is aware of the best helper nodes

  7. The Proposed MAC Protocol • Data Structures in CoopMC design • Each node maintains • Neighbor-table (Ntable) • Find a best helper node to assist the communication • Good Channel State Information • Minimum interfering neighbors • Channel-table (CTable) • Counter that indicates the number of neighbors that have planned to utilize the channel

  8. The Proposed MAC Protocol • Based on the existing Multichannel MAC protocol (MMAC) • Control phase • Pre-defined channel • Data phase

  9. The Proposed MAC Protocol • Channel negotiation during the Control Phase • If the channel is busy • Sender should wait until the channel is idle plus a DIFS time period Relay Sender Destination 1. Carry sense

  10. The Proposed MAC Protocol • Channel negotiation during the Control Phase • If the channel is idle for a DIFS time period and has completed the required backoff process Relay Sender Destination 2. send CTU(CTable)

  11. The Proposed MAC Protocol • Channel negotiation during the Control Phase • A helper node cannot cooperate • Channel is busy due to other transmissions • Helper node has already agreed to serve another transmission 3. send CTU-R(CTable) Relay Sender Destination

  12. The Proposed MAC Protocol • Channel negotiation during the Control Phase • Destinationselects two channels based on the CTables at sender, relay and itself 2 Relay 1 Sender Destination 4. send CTU-ACK(1,2)

  13. The Proposed MAC Protocol • Channel negotiation during the Control Phase • Destinationselects two channels based on the CTables at sender, relay and itself 1 2 1 2 Relay 1 Sender Destination 4. send CTU-ACK(1,2)

  14. The Proposed MAC Protocol • Channel negotiation during the Control Phase 2 Relay 1 Sender Destination 5. send CTU-RES(1)

  15. The Proposed MAC Protocol • Channel negotiation during the Control Phase • If the CTUR-RES packet is not heard, the senderand destinationswitch to direct transmission mode in the DATA Phase 6. send CTUR-RES(1,2) 2 Relay 1 Sender Destination 5. send CTU-RES(1)

  16. Example • Control phase

  17. Example Relay • Data phase 1 2 Sender Destination 1 Channel 2

  18. Simulation • NS-2 simulator • A grid of 40 wireless nodes located in 1000x1000(m) • Bit rate of channel is 2Mbps • Transmission range of each node is 250m • Randomly select the source and destination pairs • Traffic flow adopted UDP/CBR

  19. Simulation • Assume that sufficient number of relay nodes are present in the network • Packet size is 1000 bytes. • The beacon interval is set to 150ms and control phase duration as 32ms

  20. Simulation • Aggregate Throughput vs. Packet Arrival Rate

  21. Simulation • Sensitivity of models to wireless errors

  22. Simulation • Impact of Channels on Throughput

  23. Conclusion • The auther proposed a cooperative multi-channel (CoopMC) MAC protocol • Allocates each cooperative transmission, dynamically, onto a different channel. • The simulation results • Greatly reduce the interference in cooperative wireless network • Provide an enhanced performance
