Abstract
We propose a reliable multicast MAC protocol based on the direct-sequence code-division multiple access (DS-CDMA) scheme to enhance channel efficiency in wireless ad-hoc area networks. In conventional multicast MAC protocols based on IEEE 802.11 standards using RTS-CTS handshake exchange CTS and ACK packets consecutively for reliable transmission. Although this protocol guarantees transmission reliability by avoiding the hidden node (HN) problem, multiple CTSs and ACKs degrade network efficiency. The multicast sender must receive multiple CTSs and ACKs from all multicast receivers in its own multicast group for reliable multicast. In the proposed protocol, CTS/ACK messages of multiple receivers can be transmitted concurrently through the DS-CDMA mechanism. The proposed protocol reduces the total transmission delay due to the reduction of the overhead caused by consecutive CTSs and ACKs. The proposed protocol is thoroughly examined by simulation and theoretical methods. Results show that the proposed protocol significantly reduces the aforementioned overhead, and thus improves the performance of wireless ad-hoc networks.
