Problem Statement
Supporting real-time traffic in multi-hop ad-hoc network (e.g. a SAHN) with
a contention based MAC protocol is a challenging task
In previous papers (WOCN 2005, ITCC 2005)
We have explained the challenges
&
Provided a solution with respect to a SAHN using IEEE 802.11e (EDCA)
In this paper
Extend previous work for multiple frequency channels & directional antennas
SAHN: Suburban Ad-Hoc Network
EDCA: Enhanced Distributed Channel Access, an improved version of
DCF (Distributed Coordination Function) of legacy 802.11
SAHN-MAC: EDCA of 802.11e + Proposed protocol

We can infer
Usα depends on the number of transactions α can hear transferring the same
data packet for s
Each transaction involves
a specific link that joins the TX and the RX active participants

The relationship between UsG & Us(b) depends on the num of links carrying

Solution (10/15)
Usα/ρ for multiple channels & directional antennas (6/6)
The relationship between Usα/ρ & Us(b) for multiple frequency channels also
depends on the number of links carrying the same packet for s
Therefore we can write for single/multiple frequency channels
Usα/ρ= n  Us(b)
n = number of links an α/ρ hears carrying the same data packet for s
With similar explanation we can argue
this equation is also valid for directional antennas
Solution (11/15)
What to measure?
Each active participant has to measure
Usα= n  Us(b)
Usρ= n  Us(b)
Each passive participant has to measure
Usρ= n  Us(b)

Simulation Setup
For performance evaluation
77 nodes on a 3000 × 3000 square meters flat terrain
Each node had at most 6 neighbors
Each node had 3 directional antennas
Each node could communicate with at most 3 neighbors simultaneously
Each test case consisted of 24 source & destination pairs and 48 sessions
Each session was offered a load of 4.6 Mbps
A new session was added every 1 sec
Simulation time for each test case was 120 sec
For simplicity all sessions were of the same AC
All established sessions were executed till the end of the simulation run
Path length of each route in each test case was fixed
Path lengths among various test cases varied between 4-6
The avg values of performance metrics were recorded at 200 ms interval
Simulation Result (1/5)
SAHN-MAC & 802.11e have been compared with respect to
End-to-end delay
Throughput
Delivery ratio
Delivery ratio is the percentage of data received successfully at the final
destination
Simulation Result (2/5)
Path length = 5
Simulation Result (3/5)
Path length = 5
Simulation Result (4/5)
Path length = 5
Simulation Result (5/5)
Summary of performance evaluation
Additions of new sessions increased network load
802.11e cannot stop the network from overloading since it does not
have any admission control mechanism
SAHN-MAC did not allow any session to initiate if the new session
could choke ongoing sessions
Thus SAHN-MAC maintains fairly stable network performance
compared to 802.11e
Conclusion
We have extended SAHN-MAC for multiple frequency channels &
directional antennas
Simulation results show SAHN-MAC can prevent network
saturation, hence can ensure desired QoS to existing data streams
In future we would also like to build a scheduling scheme at the MAC
layer to handle different classes of traffic efficiently
