Why Need MAC ?
Wireless medium is an open, shared, and broadcast medium
Multiple nodes may access the medium at the same time
Medium Access Control Protocol:
Define rules to force distributed nodes to access wireless medium in
an orderly and efficiently manner

Some Background
CSMA/CD (carrier sense multiple access/ collision detection)
Every node senses the carrier before transmitting
If the carrier is not clear, the node defers transmission for a specified
period. Otherwise, transmits
While transmitting, the sender is listening to carrier and sender stops
transmitting if collision has been detected
Due to hidden & exposed terminal problem
Contention/collision will occur at receiver side
Carrier sense (send side) approach is inappropriate for wireless
networks

Hidden Terminal Problem
Node B can communicate with A and C both
A and C cannot hear each other
When A transmits to B, C cannot detect the transmissionusing the carrier sense mechanism
If C transmits to D, collision will occur at B

Exposed Terminal Problem
Node C can communicate with B and D both
Node B can communicate with A and C
Node A cannot hear C
Node D can not hear B
When C transmits to D, B detect the transmission using the
carrier sense mechanism and postpone to transmit to A,
even though such transmission will not cause collision
B CA DX

Capture Effect
A and D transmit simultaneously to B, the signalstrength received by B from D is much higher thanthat from A, and D¶s transmission can be decodedwithout errors. This will result unfair sharing of bandwidth.

Centralized MAC Protocols
Work for centralized wireless networks
Base station has explicit control for who and when to access the
medium
All nodes can hear from and talk to base station
All communications go through the base station
The arbitration and complexity are in base station

Goals , New Ideas, and Main
Contributions
Goals:
Try to overcome hidden & exposed terminal problems
New idea:
Reserve the channel before sending data packet
Minimize the cost of collision (control packet is much smaller than
data packet)
Main Contribution:
A three-way handshake MAC protocol : MACA
CSMA/CA MA/CA MACA

Fundamental Assumptions
Symmetry
A can hear from B B can hear from A
No capture
No channel fading Packet error only due to collision
Data packets and control packets are transmitted in the
same channel

Three-Way Handshake A sends Ready-to-Send (RTS)
B responds with Clear-to-Send (CTS)
A sends DATA PACK ET
RTS and CTS announce the duration of the data transfer
Nodes overhearing RTS keep quiet for some time to allow A to receive CTS

More Details for MACA
A sends out RTS and set a timer and waits for CTS
If A receives CTS before timer go to zero, OK! sends data packet
Otherwise, A assumes there is a collision at B
Double the backoff counter interval» Randomly pick up a timer from [1,backoff counter]
Send next RTS after timer go to zero
B sends out CTS, then set a timer and waits for data packet
If data packet arrives before timer go to zero, OK!
Otherwise, B can do other things
C overhears A¶s RTS, set a timer which is long enough to allow A to receiveCTS. After the timer goes to zero, C can do other things
D overhears B¶s CTS, set a timer which is long enough to allow B to receive
data packet. E overhears A¶s RTS and B¶s CTS, set a timer which is long enough to allow
B to receive data packet.
RTS and CTS can also contain info to allow sender A to adjust power toreduce interference
Note: no carrier sense

Revisit Hidden Terminal Problem
Data packet still may suffer collision
To recover packet loss at transport layer is too slow
Recover at MAC layer is more fast
Need ACK from destination

Four-Way Handshake Sender sends Ready-to-Send (RTS)
Receiver responds with Clear-to-Send (CTS)
Sender sends DATA PACK ET
Receiver acknowledge with ACK
RTS and CTS announce the duration of the transfer
Nodes overhearing RTS/CTS keep quiet for that duration Sender will retransmit RTS if no ACK is received
If ACK is sent out, but not received by sender, after receiving new RTS, receiver returns ACK instead
of CTS for new RTS

Revisit Exposed Terminal Problem
RTS/CTS/DATA/ACK can not solve exposed terminal
problem
When overhearing RTS, the node needs to wait longer
enough to allow the data packet being completely
transmitted even it does not overhear CTS
To relieve exposed terminal problem,
Let exposed terminal know the DATA packet does be transmitted
Extra message DS (data send)
Five Handshaking to let exposed terminal know how long
it should wait

Unfairness Using RTS/CTS/DATA/ACK or RTS/CTS/DS/DATA/ACK might cause unfairness
A sends data to B; D sends data to C
A and D have enough data to send
C can hears from B and D, but not A
B can hear from A and C, but not D
A is in luck and gets the channel
D sends RTS and times out
Backoff window for D repeatedly doubles
For the next transmission:
A picks a random number from a smaller window Unequal probability of channel access
Throughput for flow A B > 90 %
Throughput for flow D C ~ 0%

Why Uses RRTS Instead Of CTS ?
CTS or RTS packet size << data packet size
When nodes overhear CTS, they need to defer a time
period to allow the expected data packet transmission
When nodes overhear RRTS, they only need to defer a
time period to overhear the expected CTS
Uses CTS will cost long waiting

Multiple Stream Model (V-MAC)
Single stream model merges traffic from different flows into a mixed
stream and uses a single MAC
Multiple stream model uses multiple MAC (one flow one MAC) to
achieve fairness
This idea was used by Intersil Company to propose a new MAC for
IEEE 802.11e in 2001

Why Multiple Stream MAC more fair Than Single
Stream MAC
When collision
all packets in single stream MAC are used a large backoff window
Different flow¶s packet in multiple stream MAC uses different backoff window

Backoff Algorithms
When collision occurs, node A pick up a random number T from
[1,Bo], then retransmits RTS after T time unit
How to determine Bo
After each collision Bo_new = Fun_inc(Bo_old)
After each successful transmission Bo_new = Fun_dec(Bo_old)
Binary exponential backoff (BEB) algorithm
Fun_inc(Bo_old)=min{2*Bo_old, Bo_max}
Fun_dec(B_old)=Bo_min
Multiplicative increase linear decease (MILD)
Fun_inc(Bo_old)=min{1.5*Bo_old,Bo_max}
Fun_dec(B_old)=max{Bo_old -1, Bo_min}

Information Sharing in Backoff
Algorithms
When a node sends a packet, it embeds its current backoff
counter in the packet header. Other nodes which overhears the packet copy the value as itself backoff counter
Key idea: all nodes have the same backoff counter to achieve
fairness
