Page 3 Spring 2012 CS 752/852 - Wireless Networking and Mobile Computing Key Idea & Goals & Main Results Key idea:  Continuously protect data packet transmission  Use out-band channels to distribute information Goals  Solve hidden & exposed terminal problems Main Results  DBTMA: two out-of-band busy tones & RTS  Completely solve hidden & exposed terminal problems

Page 4 Spring 2012 CS 752/852 - Wireless Networking and Mobile Computing Related Works  BTMA (Busy Tone Multiple Access, F. A. Tobagi & L. Kleinrock 1975):  Using two channels: data channel & control channel  A control center - basestation  When base station senses the transmission of a terminal, it broadcasts a busy tone signal to all terminals, keeping them (except the current transmitter) from accessing the channel  RI-BTMA (Receiver-Initiated Busy Tone Multiple Access, C. Wu & V. O. K. Li 1987)  Time is slotted (similar to slotted ALOHA & need time clock synchronization)  A packet preamble is sent to intended receiver by the transmitter  Receiver sets up an out-of-band busy tone and waits for the data  When sensing busy tone, transmitter sends the data packet  FAMA (Floor Acquisition Multiple Access, C. L. Fuller & J.J Garecia-Luna-Aceves 1995)  FAMA-NPC (NPC = on-persistent packet sensing) oMACA  FAMA-NCS (NCS non-persistent carrier sensing) oSensing carrier before sending RTS If clear, sends RTS Otherwise, waiting a random time, sensing carrier again oCTS is more larger than RTS

Page 5 Spring 2012 CS 752/852 - Wireless Networking and Mobile Computing DBTMA Two narrow-bandwidth tones BTt (Transmitter Busy Tone) Set up by the node which has data to send Stop when completing transmitting RTS BTr (Receiver Busy Tone) Set up by the node which receives RTS Stop when completely receives the data packet All nodes sensing any busy tone are not allowed to send RTS Any node sensing no busy tone is allowed to transmit RTS CA DATA RTS DATA RTS B

Page 6 Spring 2012 CS 752/852 - Wireless Networking and Mobile Computing Functionalities of Busy Tones BTr (set up by receiver)  Notifying the RTS sender that RTS has been received and channel has been acquired  Announcing to its neighbor nodes that it is receiving data packet and they should refrain from accessing the channel BTt (set up by sender)  Providing protection for the RTS packet

Page 7 Spring 2012 CS 752/852 - Wireless Networking and Mobile Computing Seven DBTMA Operation States IDLE  Node with on packets to send stays in IDLE state CONTEND  Node has data to send but it is not allowed to send RTS, it stays in CONTEND state S_RTS  Node sending RTS is in S_RTS state S_DATA  Node sending data is in S_DATA state WF_BTR  RTS packet sender waiting for the ACK from its intended receiver is in WF_BTR state WF_DATA  Receiver waiting for DATA is in WF_DATA state WAIT  Node send out RTS and senses BTr and waits a mandatory time, it is WAIT state

Page 9 Spring 2012 CS 752/852 - Wireless Networking and Mobile Computing More Details for DBTMA When A has data to send Senses BTt and BTr If both are clear Turns on BTt Sends out RTS and enters S_RTS state Turns off BTt at the end of RTS transmission and gets out S_RTS state Sets a timer for expected BTr and enters WF_BTR state If BTr is sensed, enters WAIT state and waits for tmw, then enters S_DATA state and sends data packet Otherwise, timer goes to zero, A goes to IDLE state Enters IDLE state Otherwise Sets a random timer and goes to CONTENT state If BTt or BTr is still sensed when timer goes to zero, A goes to IDLE state Otherwise, A turns on BTt and enters S_RTS state and sends out RTS if no any busy tone signal is sensed

Page 10 Spring 2012 CS 752/852 - Wireless Networking and Mobile Computing More Details for DBTMA When B receives RTS, B turns on BTr and sets a timer for expected data packet and enters WF_DATA state If B has not received data packet before timer goes to zero  B turns off BTr and goes to IDLE state Otherwise, B receives data packet and turns off its BTr when completely getting the data packet  When BTr sensed by any Other Node which is in S_RTS state, the node aborts it RTS and goes to IDLE state
