    Abstract: A MAC protocol, useful for wireless local area networks (WLANs), is provided for improving throughput efficiency. The protocol includes three concurrent processes, and the channel is divided into a contention subchannel and a transmission subchannel. In the contention process, all nodes use the standard RTS/CTS mechanism operated on the contention channel to contend for a right of transmission. When one node gains the right, all the nodes store the contention result into their respective contention queue (CQ) buffers. In the transmission process, the nodes sequentially transmit their data over the transmission channel according to the order of the nodes stored in the CQ buffers. When one node finishes data transmission, the CQ buffers are updated. The contention process and the transmission process are connected by the queuing process, where each node dynamically updates its own CQ buffer according to the contention result and each instance of data transmission.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for updating a mobile terminal (MT) for a mobile communication network when the MT crosses a boundary of a first location-update (LA) area. The method comprises determining a second LA to be assigned to the MT for replacing the first LA. The second LA is characterized by a LA center and a LA size, both determined by optimizing them in a sense that a mean total location-management cost is minimized without restricting the LA center to be fixed at the initial position. The initial position is defined as the location where the MT performs a latest location update at the first LA before crossing the boundary. This invention also provides schemes of partitioning the second LA into sub-paging areas for use in paging the MT when a call arrives at the network, so as to minimize the paging cost while satisfying delay requirements.

    Abstract: A MAC protocol, useful for WLANs, is provided for random access over a channel. The protocol includes three concurrent processes. The channel includes a contention subchannel and a transmission subchannel. In the contention process, all nodes use the standard RTS/CTS mechanism operated on the contention subchannel to contend for a transmission right. When one node gains the right, all the nodes store the contention result into their respective contention queue (CQ) buffers. In the transmission process, the nodes sequentially transmit their data over the transmission subchannel according to the order of the nodes stored in the CQ buffers. When one node finishes transmission, the CQ buffers are updated. The contention and transmission processes are connected by the queuing process for dynamically updating each node's CQ buffer. When OFDM is used in a random-access system, numbers of data subcarriers in both subchannels for maximizing the system throughput are given.

    Abstract: A method for optimizing throughput of a network with stations adapted to transmit data to an access point includes the step of determining a respective required throughput for each station based on: respective time periods required for decreasing a count of a respective back-off counter associated with each of the stations, a transmission packet length of the respective station, and a probability of successful transmission for of the respective station. The respective required throughput so determined is a function of a respective transmission attempt rate for the station. The method further includes the step of determining the respective transmission attempt rate for each station for maximizing a sum of the respective required throughput such that a respective fixed throughput is provided for inelastic data flow in the network, a respective proportional throughput ratio is provided for elastic data flow in the network, and the throughput of the network is maximized.

    Abstract: A method for scheduling a random-access communication system having high-priority (HP) and low-priority (LP) nodes is provided, where the scheduling is configured such that the system provides an absolute throughput guarantee for the HP nodes, and a proportional throughput guarantee for the LP nodes. The method is based on obtaining a length of a contention window assigned to an individual node, which is either a HP or a LP node, from a per-slot attempt rate of this individual node. In particular, the attempt rate of each individual node is determined by an algorithm configured such that a resultant sum of the per-slot attempt rates of all the individual nodes is a fixed value independent of the number of the individual nodes. By this scheduling method, the maximum system throughput is approached. The method can be advantageously used in a wireless local area network (WLAN).

    Abstract: The throughput of a wireless network can be boosted by network coding (NC). The present invention combines NC-aware routing and TDMA-based MAC protocol for energy-efficient design in the wireless network, and provides a method thereof. An optimization model, which is a minimum energy consumption model (MECM), is formulated for minimizing the energy consumption for accomplishing a set of flow transmissions. In particular, based on a set of user traffic-flow demands, a NC-aware traffic-flow assignment that minimizes a total energy consumption of packets delivering to meet the user traffic-flow demands is determined. Thereafter, given the optimal flow assignment, a minimum timeslots model (MTM) which leads to a TDMA-based scheduling strategy at the MAC layer is developed. The MTM is to minimize the total number of timeslots required for transmission under a condition that the NC-aware traffic-flow assignment as already determined is accomplishable.
