Analysis of the Request to Send/Clear to Send Exchange in WLAN Over Fiber Networks

Parameter Space and Comparative Analyses of Energy Aware Sensor Communication Protocols

“…Several settings in [3] and [9] apply in this analysis. The lengths of SYNC (Synchronization), RTS (Request-To-Send), CTS (Clear-To-Send) and ACK (Acknowledgement) are set to 8, 20, 14 and 14 bytes, respectively.…”

On converged Medium-Transparent MAC protocols for mm-wave fiber-wireless networks

“…This approach goes against the physically intertwined nature of the converged communications, alleviates the advantage of centralized network overview and requires the installation of a series of active access equipment, making it practically unsuitable for deployment in mm-wave radio applications. The second approach is the direct adaptation of currently existing wireless MAC protocols directly on top of RoF infrastructures [8]. As it is expected, all wireless MAC protocols are completely oblivious to the optical infrastructure that lies beyond the wireless physical layer, and therefore can function only if there is a constant and static active optical connection to carry the radio signals between every RAU and the CO. Due to the high propagation and penetration losses exhibited by mmwave radio, numerous antennas are required to cover an area, even as small as the size of a single apartment.…”

Analysis of Fi-Wi indoor network architecture based on IEEE 802.15.3c

“…15.3c have been formed in order to accelerate the standardization efforts for high speed communication at 60 GHz frequency band (57 GHz to 66 GHz with varying bands in different countries). IEEE 802.15 working group for WPAN has come up with IEEE 802.…”

“…IEEE 802.15 working group for WPAN has come up with IEEE 802. 15.3c PHY and MAC specification for data rate of up to 5 Gbps [1]. The wave propagation in 60 GHz is fundamentally different from that of lower frequency bands such as 2.5 GHz.…”
