Simulation of wireless LAN MAC protocol, procedure using C or C++ programming / Juliana Mad Juhani

In competition based protocols, the channel is shared among many neighboring users each of which tries to get to access to. The user that has got the channel first disables the others from using the channel during transmission. This project describes the Multiple Access Control (MAC) layer in a comp...

Description
Summary:In competition based protocols, the channel is shared among many neighboring users each of which tries to get to access to. The user that has got the channel first disables the others from using the channel during transmission. This project describes the Multiple Access Control (MAC) layer in a competition based environment only. MAC layer's inherent problems in wireless environments, performance criterions of MAC layer are explained. Some of the most common MAC protocols are illustrated are Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidances (CSMA-CA), Multiple Access with Collision Avoidances (MACA) and Multiple Access Collision Avoidances By Invitation (MACA-BI) [2]. This project will focus on the simulation programming for MACA and MACA-BI procedure in MAC layer. The simulation of protocol procedure on MACA and MACA-BI are written in C. This thesis presented on the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and MAC protocol situation and condition and finally presented on the programming procedures.
