Bandwidth Efficient Medium Access for an Inhouse Wireless LAN
Overview This paper presents a new medium access method for a wireless inhouse Local Area Network (LAN). Several existing (draft) standards for wireless communication (e.g. IEEE 802.11, HIPERLAN or Magic WAND) cannot fulfill quality of service demands for typical inhouse applications (e.g. video, audio, phone and computer) or they set up the need for a central hub. The paper shows that quality of service demands for an independent hierarchical priority of the data transmission with a reservation scheme for a long connection time and a competition phase for short ones. It introduces a new bandwidth allocation - a dynamic reservation with static fallback mode - to achieve a good bandwidth efficiency. Hidden nodes will be integrated in the LAN by a new co-host reservation scheme.
