Bidirectional Multichannel Beacon Management for TVWS WPAN

摘要

Unlike general ISM bands, TVWS bands have unique requirements. In particular, to deploy WPAN systems with extremely restricted resources on a TVWS band, cooperative channel management strategy among devices are required. In this paper, we propose a Bidirectional Multichannel Beacon Management (BM)~2 which fulfils the strict requirements, such as PAN operation independency, periodic channel monitoring capability, minimum overhead, for TVWS WPAN. The experimental results demonstrates that (BM)~2 shows high superframe utilization ratio and small recovery time.
