Abstract
An efficient medium access control (MAC) protocol for use in a single cell of a wireless local area network (LAN) is analyzed. A fixed frame structure with two periods is used, one period for making reservations using a slotted Aloha protocol and a second period for data transmission. The MAC protocol operates in a centralized manner in which a single station, the base station, accepts reservations (transmission or data requests) that are made by the remote stations, and then schedules the times in which they will transmit or receive data. Two different types of client-server traffic models, open loop and closed loop, are considered. Exact results are derived for the mean throughput and waiting times as well as for the queue length distributions. Several types of behavior are illustrated by numerical examples.Keywords
