A few questions asked before proposal
September 2018 A few questions asked before proposal For discussion Is CSMA/CA working in OWC? How do we define ‘carrier sensing’ and ‘CCA’ in the term of OWC? Need comprehensive introduction to the mechanism. How well can the CSMA/CA perform in terms of scalability? Need proof in terms of simulation results. Polling can be deemed as either contention based or contention free. In other words, it has both contention-based and contention-free periods. However, the two periods/intervals shall work together and keep the intervals contiguous, since the coordinator may make decisions based on outcome from the previous random access period in the polling period. Polling itself has both scheduled and contention-based transmissions. Is it necessary to keep another working random access mechanism (e.g., ) in the same standard? Chong Han (pureLiFi)

Proposed MAC structure
September 2018 Proposed MAC structure Superframe structure: B Polling To start a superframe and Random access (association, TX request) Polling (data transmission) B B To start a random access or polling period No superframe structure: and and Random access (association, TX request) Polling (data transmission) Polling (data transmission) B B B Random access B The star topology is considered as the basic topology by polling. Polling consists of two types of periods: Random access for (re)association and transmission request Polling for data exchange Polling does not require a separate Beacon Period, hence it fits in both superframe or non-superframe structure.
