Abstract

To reserve or not for bursty video traffic over wireless access networks has been a long-debated issue. Reservation can ensure QoS provisioning at the cost of lower resource utilization. Contention-based MAC is more flexible and efficient in sharing resources for bursty traffic by a higher multiplexing gain, but the QoS may degrade severely with the increase of traffic load. In wireless networks using hybrid MAC, nodes can reserve time periods inside scheduling cycles and the time not reserved can be used by all stations through contention-based access. The hybrid MAC is attractive because each video source reserves well below its peak data rate and uses contention-based media access to transmit the remainder/bursts of the traffic. Thus, satisfactory QoS may be provided by resource reservation and high channel utilization can be achieved due to the multiplexing gain in the contention periods. In this chapter, we first introduce the hybrid hard and soft-reservation schemes and then present the analytical models. We illustrate how to use the mean value analysis approach to calculate the collision probability and the average service time of a frame. Furthermore, using the standard WiMedia MAC protocols as an example, extensive simulations using NS-2 and real video traces are given which verify the analysis and demonstrate the effectiveness of the hybrid MAC. The results show that the hybrid MAC, especially with soft reservation, has much better delay performance and higher capacity (supporting more video streaming flows) than the contention or reservation-only MAC.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Note that if transmission errors happen in the burst transaction during reserved periods, the frames that need to be retransmitted can be queued in the C-Buffer. In this chapter, we only consider collisions and ignore transmission errors to simplify the analysis.

  2. 2.

    For easy presentation, we reuse the notations of T A , T S , etc., so they also represent the averages of the corresponding durations in the equations in this section.
