Design and Analysis of Low-Power Access Protocols for Wireless and Mobile ATM Networks

Overview This paper describes the design and analysis of a low-power Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for wireless/mobile ATM networks. The protocol - denoted EC-MAC (Energy Conserving Medium Access Control) - is designed to support different traffic types with Quality-of-Service (QoS) provisions. The network is based on the infrastructure model where a Base Station (BS) serves all the mobiles currently in its cell. A reservation-based approach is proposed, with appropriate scheduling of the requests from the mobiles. This strategy is utilized to accomplish the dual goals of reduced energy consumption and quality of service provision over wireless links.
