Enhanced Power Saving for IEEE 802.11 WLAN With Dynamic Slot Allocation

Overview In the area of wireless mobile communication, minimizing energy consumption as well as maximizing data throughput in Medium Access Control (MAC) layer is a very important research issue. The Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) of IEEE 802.11 provides the Power Saving Mechanism (PSM) that allows nodes to remain silent in 'Doze mode' for reducing energy consumption. However, IEEE 802.11 PSM is known to cause unnecessary energy consumption due to the problems of an overhearing, a back-off time delay and possible packet collisions. To overcome these problems, the paper presents a new MAC protocol called 'Slotted-PSM' for IEEE 802.11 WLANs.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
