A Study on Sender Initiated Contention Based MAC Protocols without Reservation Mechanisms in Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks

摘要

An Adhoc network is a decentralized kind of wireless network, in which any fixed infrastructure is not required to initiate communication. Instead, it is a part of role of any mobile node in the network to forward the packet to the desired destination node. So, selecting a node among the available mobile nodes to participate in the communication is a challenging task. On the other hand, ensuring the availability of collision free and efficient medium to the mobile nodes is also an important task. Upon having such a medium, the mobile nodes can perform the routing and packet forwarding process in an effective manner. MAC protocols are used by the Adhoc networks for managing and controlling the medium in fair way for all nodes. This paper, perform the comprehensive study on important Sender Initiated Content based MAC protocols without Reservation Mechanism for adhoc networks.
