  2. Vehicular Wireless Media Network (VWMN) A distributed broadband MAC for inter-vehicle communication Lothar Stibor, Philips

  3. Overview • Motivation • Problem statement • VWMN MAC specification • Benefits of VWMN • Challenges • Synchronization • Dynamic topology control • Conclusion and outlook Lothar Stibor, Philips

  4. Will 802.15 address mobility in WPAN? • WLAN & WPAN standardization is facing similar general problems • Coverage extension • Growing demand on throughput • Changing network topology Lothar Stibor, Philips

  5. Safety Traffic jam warning Hazard warning Emergency car approaching Cooperative driving Media type applications Internet on the road Access to the company network Download latest customer data Working context transfer Entertainment Content (media) sharing Vehicular Applications Lothar Stibor, Philips

  6. Interconnection among handheld devices Audio (cordless headset) Content download (MP3 player, photo camera) Internet file transfer & audio/video streaming (PDA, cell phone) Temporarily & rapidly set-up mesh network Indoor location based services Healthcare Hospital personnel and equipment tracking Inventory tracking Patient monitoring/management Sensor networks Premium service e.g. Voice over IP Mobility oriented Applications for WPANs Lothar Stibor, Philips

  7. Spectrum allocation • Spectrum allocation for Dedicated short range communication (DSRC) • Multiple channels • Broad band • High data rate (Media Type) applications • Mobile-to-mobile • Mobile-to-infrastructure Lothar Stibor, Philips

  8. Problem statement for Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) MAC • Application supports • Premium (Safety relevant) applications • Media type applications • Considering changing network topology • MAC efficiency • Quality of Service • Ad-hoc, self organization • Multi-channel support • Multi-hop extension Lothar Stibor, Philips

  9. Overview on VWMN MAC • Key Assets • Distributed beaconing algorithm • Learning topology through beaconing • Contention free channel access based on topology information • Contention based channel access optional • Synchronized MAC • More efficient premium service • QoS for media type app. • Supports multiple channels Lothar Stibor, Philips

  10. Synchronized superframe consisting of n channel time slots Beacon period (BP) (m beacon slots) for beacon transmission Data period (DP) (n-m slot) for data exchange Synchronized Superframe Structure Lothar Stibor, Philips

  11. Information in Beacons MAC ID & beacon slot number GPS information Beacon period bitmap (neighborhood bit map) Channel reservation information Purpose of beaconing Synchronization Topology control Channel access coordination 7 6 4 5 1 3 2 1 5 2 6 3 7 4 1 2 4 5 6 1 2 4 5 3 6 7 1 5 1 2 4 5 3 6 7 1 2 4 5 3 6 7 2 6 2 4 5 3 6 7 4 5 3 6 7 3 7 Directly received 1 2 4 5 3 6 7 X beacon 4 Learned from Y neighbors beacons Beacon Period ( BP ) Distributed Beaconing Scheme Lothar Stibor, Philips

  12. VWMN Channel Access Methods • Distributed Resource Reservation Protocol (DRRP) • Reservation is made for the following DP • Reservation information is broadcasted in beacons • Contention based channel access (EDCA) • Make use of the unreserved channel resource • Similar to EDCA in IEEE 802.11e Lothar Stibor, Philips

  13. Benefits of VWMN MAC • QoS support for • Time critical (safety relevant) applications • Media Type applications • Higher MAC efficiency with reservation based channel access • Support for multi-channel • Capable of multi-hop connection Lothar Stibor, Philips

  14. Synchronization issues Clock inaccuracy Time shifts between independent beacon groups 3-level approach for synchronization Packet syn. through PHY preamble Intra-group syn. through beaconing algorithm Inter-group (global) syn. through GPS Challenges of VWMN MAC (1/2) Lothar Stibor, Philips

  15. Challenges of VWMN MAC (2/2) • Dynamic topology control / mobility management in VWMN • Beacon collision probability raises in high mobility environment • Proposed solutions • Multiple beacon periods for groups of vehicles with high relative speed • Reduces beacon slot contention • Prevent synchronization between unlikely communication partners • Transmission power control • limits the number of vehicles contenting for the same beacon period Lothar Stibor, Philips

  16. Conclusion & Outlook • A synchronized and distributed VWMN MAC is proposed for mobile media applications • Synchronization and distributed topology control are essential issues • Feedback from 802.15 is highly appreciated • Does the concept fit into WPAN? • Is high mobility a topic 802.15 will address?
