Abstract
Collision-Aware-Intel (CA-Intel) which is a modified version of the widely used Rate Adaptation Algorithm (RAA), Iwl-Mvm-Rs, is proposed to enhance performance by incorporating collision awareness. CA-Intel builds upon Iwl-Mvm-Rs by introducing an error condition estimation mechanism and an adaptive Request-To-Send/Clear-To-Send (RTS/CTS) mechanism. The presence of collisions is detected by analyzing the difference in Frame Error Rates (FERs) between transmissions protected by RTS/CTS and those that are not. Then it will adaptively enable the RTS/CTS mechanism based on current error conditions to avoid collisions. CA-Intel has been implemented in the ns-3 simulator, demonstrating that it effectively reduces FER and improves throughput.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Communications Letters publishes short papers in a rapid publication cycle on advances in the state-of-the-art of communication over different media and channels including wire, underground, waveguide, optical fiber, and storage channels. Both theoretical contributions (including new techniques, concepts, and analyses) and practical contributions (including system experiments and prototypes, and new applications) are encouraged. This journal focuses on the physical layer and the link layer of communication systems.
