Outline • Introduction • Proposed Mechanism – Angular MAC • Evaluation • Analysis – Throughput Enhancement • Conclusion
Introduction • Capacity of wireless mesh networks can be enhanced through the use of smart directional antennas. • High quality links • Throughput enhancement by spatial reuse • Lots of previous works suffer from • Hidden terminal problem • Deafness problem • Head-of-line blocking problem
a Introduction – Antenna Model • Each node is equipped with a multi-beam antenna. • The multi-beam antenna either transmit or receive data packets at a time, but not both. 2 3 a 1 0

From: IEEE Std 802.11 Figure. 51 Analysis – Throughput Enhancement (Contention Window) • According to success ratio (Nc/Ns) for tuning optimal contention window to maximize the throughput. • Nc – the number of collided packets • Ns – the number of successful packets • Define • τ– the probability that a node transmits in a randomly chosen slot • p – the probability that a transmitted packet encounters a collision • Ps – the probability of successful transmission
i,wi-2 i,wi-1 Figrue. Markov Chain model for the backoff window size Analysis i as backoff stage k as backoff time counter W as CWmin Wi as 2iW, i∈(0,m), so CWmax=2mW
Evaluation for Contention channel enhancements Omni 802.11b Directional ANMAC-LS Optimal CWmin is for 802.11b.
Conclusion • ANMAC’s contributions are • self configuring nature with neighbor discovery • immunity to deafness • optimal selection and dynamic adaptationof contention window to maximize the network throughput
