Multiple Access Protocols

Chapter 6 of Hiroshi Harada Book

IntroductionIntroduction

• Multiple access control channels– Each node is attached to a transmitter/receiver which

communicates via a channel shared by other nodes– Transmission from any node is received by other nodes

Introduction (Cont’d)Introduction (Cont’d)• Multiple access issues

– If more than one node transmit at a time on the control channel to BS, a collision occurs

– How to determine which node can transmit to BS?• Multiple access protocols

– Solving multiple access issues– Different types:

• Contention protocols resolve a collision after it occurs. These protocols execute a collision resolution protocol after each collision

• Collision-free protocols (e.g., a bit-map protocol and binary countdown) ensure that a collision can never occur.

Contention ProtocolsContention Protocols

• ALOHA– Developed in the 1970s for a packet radio network by Hawaii

University. – Whenever a station has a data, it transmits. Sender finds out

whether transmission was successful or experienced a collision by listening to the broadcast from the destination station. Sender retransmits after some random time if there is a collision.

• Slotted ALOHA– Improvement: Time is slotted and a packet can only be transmitted

at the beginning of one slot. Thus, it can reduce the collision duration.

Contention Protocols (Cont’d)Contention Protocols (Cont’d)

• CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)– Improvement: Start transmission only if no transmission is ongoing

• CSMA/CD (CSMA with Collision Detection)– Improvement: Stop ongoing transmission if a collision is detected

• CSMA/CA (CSMA with Collision Avoidance)– Improvement: Wait a random time and try again when carrier is quiet. If

still quiet, then transmit

• CSMA/CA with ACK• CSMA/CA with RTS/CTS

• The probability that n packets arrive in two packets time is given by

where G is traffic load.

GeP 20

• The probability P(0) that a packet is successfully received without collision is calculated by letting n=0 in the above equation. We get

GeGPGS 20

• We can calculate throughput S with a traffic load G as follows:

Unslotted ALOHAUnslotted ALOHA

• Unslotted ALOHA (a.k.a. Pure ALOHA) was the precursor to slotted ALOHA.

• In Pure ALOHA, each node transmits a new packet immediately upon receiving, rather than waiting for a slot boundary.

• If a packet is involved in a collision, it is retransmitted after a random delay.

Frame which collideswith end of red frame

• A frame (red frame) will be in a collision if and only if another transmission begins in the vulnerable period of the frame

• Vulnerable period has the length of 2 frame times

• Since arrivals are independent, Psucc=e-2G

• Since attempted transmissions occur at rate G(n), the throughput = Ge-2G

• The MAX throughput of a Pure ALOHA system = 1/(2e), achieved when G=0.5.

• If λ is very small and the mean retx time is very large, the system can be expected to run for long periods w/o major backlog buildup.

• The main adv. of pure ALOHA is that it can be used with variable-length packets.

Collision mechanism in slotted ALOHA

Slotted ALOHASlotted ALOHA

• The basic idea:– Each unbacklogged node simply transmit a newly arriving

packet in the first slot after packet arrival.• Slotted ALOHA risks occasional collisions but

achieves very small delay if collisions are rare.• Contrast to TDM systems, which avoids collisions at

the expense of large delays.

Slotted ALOHA (cont.)Slotted ALOHA (cont.)

• When a collision occurs, each node sending one of the colliding packets discovers the collision at the end of the slot and becomes backlogged.

• Such nodes wait for some random number of slots before retransmitting.

• The MAX departure rate occurs at G=1 and is 1/e ≈ 0.368.

• If G<1, too many idle slots are generated.• If G>1, too many collisions are generated.

• Max throughput achievable by slotted ALOHA is 0.368.

• CSMA gives improved throughput compared to Aloha protocols.

• Listens to the channel before transmitting a packet (avoid avoidable collisions).
