Abstract

In this paper, we propose an efficient resource reservation scheme using cross-layer link adaptation for Ultra Wide Band Wireless Personal Area Network with Distributed Medium Access Control (D-MAC). Since the WiMedia D-MAC supporting Distributed Reservation Protocol (DRP) scheme causes lots of conflicts due to failure of beacon detection in wireless channel environment, overall performances of the WiMedia D-MAC can be deteriorated. Therefore, we propose Relay DRP protocol with Relay Node Selection criterion, which makes a relay path to avoid DRP conflicts or harsh channel conditions through cross-layer link adaptation of cooperative relay transmission scheme and is compliant with the current WiMedia D-MAC protocol. Simulation results demonstrate performance improvements of the proposed method for throughput and energy consumption.
