  10. Error Control Time Critical Applications FEC Hybrid ARQ Quality Critical Applications

  11. Why FEC? • ATM HEC performance is too low for • wireless ATM. • High CLR and payload errors • Cell delineation problem • FEC (for Time-Critical Applications) • To correct channel errors at the expense of bandwidth by adding redundancy

  13. Why Hybrid ARQ? (for Quality Critical Traffic) ARQ provides high reliability at good and moderate channel qualities. The throughput drops rapidly, if the channel error rate is high as in wireless channels. Hybrid ARQ FEC first tries to correct the frequent error patterns. If it fails, then ARQ takes over. Hybrid ARQ Types Type I Hybrid ARQ scheme Type II Hybrid ARQ scheme: only additional parity bits are retransmitted to combine with the previous packet (incremental redundancy).

  14. MT MT MT Medium Access Control for Wireless ATM Networks

  15. Categorization of MAC Protocols • Based on Channel Organization • TDMA-Based MAC Protocols • CDMA-Based MAC Protocols • Random MAC Protocols • Hybrid MAC Protocols • Based on Duplex Mode of Uplink and Downlink • Time Division Duplex (TDD) (One Carrier Frequency) • Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) (Two Carrier Frequencies)

  16. * Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) (Two Carrier Frequencies) • Uplink frequency carries traffic from terminal to BS while downlink frequency carries traffic from BS to terminal. • FDD allows almost immediate feedback from the BS enabling terminal to find out quickly if its contending reservation request was unsuccessful and a retransmission is necessary. • Thus, FDD impacts the delay encountered by user traffic as well as the resource availability of the wireless channel.

  17. TDMA Based MAC Methods • Dynamic Packet Reservation Multiple Access (DPRMA), by Dyson and Haas in 1999. FDD • Mobile Access Scheme Based on Contention and Reservation for ATM (MASCARA), by Bauchot et al. in 1996, and Passas et al. in 1997. TDD • PRMA with Dynamic Allocation (PRMA/DA), by Kim and Widjaja in 1996. FDD • PRMA with Adaptive TDD (PRMA/ATDD), by Priscoli in 1996. TDD • Dynamic TDMA with Piggyback Reservation (DTDMA/PR), by Qiu et al. in 1996. FDD • Distributed Queuing Request Update Multiple Access (DQRUMA), by Karol et al. in 1995. FDD • Dynamic TDMA with TDD (DTDMA/TDD), by Xie et al. in 1995. TDD

  18. Packet Reservation Multiple Access (PRMA) Protocol (Goodman’91) • Time is divided into slots of equal duration, and slots are grouped into frames. • Each slot in a frame is either “reserved” or “available”. • BS controls the upstream traffic and broadcasts a continuous stream of packetized information through the downstream channel • The status of a slot is provided in feedback information supplied by BS. • Terminals can send two types of information: “Periodic” information such as speech or “Random” information such as data. • Frame rate is identical to the arrival rate of the speech packets. • Uses S-ALOHA for time slot reservation and TDMA for data transmission.

  19. Packet Reservation Multiple Access (PRMA) Protocol (Goodman’91) • A station contends for an available slot using S-ALOHA. • If transmission is successful, BS responds with an ACK message and the slot is reserved in subsequent frames until the terminal relinquishes it by leaving the slot empty. • A terminal with “random packets” contends for slots in the same way, but cannot reserve the same slot in a subsequent frame even after a successful transmission. • Thus, terminal must contend again for another available time slot. • For unsuccessful transmission, a terminal with “periodic” packets retransmits the packet with certain probability in subsequent unreserved slots until it receives an ACK signal from BS. • Similarly, a terminal with “random” packets retransmits a packet in unreserved slots with certain probability.

  20. Packet Reservation Multiple Access (PRMA) Protocol (Goodman’91) Advantages: • Simple Disadvantages: * Upon congestion, the speech packet dropping rate and data packet delay both increase. * Feedback information may cause waste of bandwidth.

FDD Variable Variable Variable

  22. Operation Procedures of PRMA/DA • Send Requests in Available Slots • Contention-based transmission. • Slotted ALOHA is used. • Reserve Time Slots for each Successful Request • Dynamic allocation algorithm is used to allocate time slots for CBR, VBR, and ABR connections. • The allocated time slots are reserved for the lifetime of a connection. • Dynamic allocation algorithm is also used for updating available time slots for the transmission of requests. • Transmit Packets in Reserved Time Slots • Since time slots are reserved, contention is free in this phase.

  23. Contributions and Shortcomings of PRMA/DA • Contributions • Dynamic allocation of slots for each sub-frame. • Variable boundary can be easily implemented. • Bandwidth can be utilized efficiently. • Collisions can be resolved quickly • No mini-slots; Easy for synchronization. • Multiple traffic classes supported. • Shortcomings • A request packet has the same length as a data packet. • If traffic rate high, this would cause inefficiency. • No mechanism is used to dynamically update VBR resources. • VBR bandwidth is allocated according to the average rate. The bursty requirement has to rely on the leftover bandwidth. QoS of VBR cannot be guaranteed.

  24. Downlink Period FH Period ContentionPeriod Uplink Period … … MPDU 1 MPDU 2 MPDU n PHY Hdr MPDU Hdr MPDU payload: Cell train (many ATM cells) 1 time slot n time slots MASCARA(Mobile Access Scheme based on Contention and Reservation for ATM) • Supports CBR, real-time VBR (rt-VBR), non-real-time VBR (nrt-VBR), ABR, UBR traffic. • Demand assignment scheme with contention based reservations. • Uplink subframe is divided into a contention period to transmit reservation requests or some control information, and uplink period for uplink data traffic. • Each period within a frame has a variable length depending on the instantanous traffic to be carried.

  25. Operation Procedures of MASCARA • If a terminal has cells to transmit, it sends a reservation request either piggybacked in the MPDUs uplink period or in special control MPDUs sent in the contention period. • Base station schedules transmissions of the next frame according to reservation requests, arriving cells for each downlink connection, traffic characteristics and QoS requirements of all connections. • In the Frame Header of the downlink, BS broadcasts information which contains a descriptor of the current time frame (including the lengths of each period), the results of the contention procedures from the previous frame and the position of the slot allocated to each downlink and uplink connection. • To minimize PHY layer overhead, MASCARA uses the concept of a CELL TRAIN (a sequence of (1-n) ATM cells belonging to a terminal and having a common header). • Length of overhead plus that of the MPDU header is equal to one time slot, which is defined as the length of an ATM cell.

  26. Priority Regulated Allocation Delay-Oriented Scheduling (PRADOS) * Assigns priorities for each connection according to its service class. * PRADOS combines priorities with a leaky bucket traffic regulator. • Regulator uses a token pool introduced for each connection. • Tokens are generated at a fixed rate equal to the mean ATM cell rate of each VC. • Size of the pool is equal to the maximum number of ATM cells that can be transmitted with a rate greater than the declared mean. • Starting at priority 5 and ending with priority 2, scheduler satisfies requests for connections as long as tokens and slots are available. • For every slot allocated to a connection, a token is removed from the corresponding pool.

  27. Contributions and Shortcomings of MASCARA • Contributions • Cell train concept is used. • A novel scheduling scheme - PRADOS. • Dynamic TDD is implicitly implemented. • Multiple traffic classes are supported. • Shortcomings • With each request corresponding to a time slot, too many requests are transmitted in the protocol. This results in wasting bandwidth. • Large size of request packet results in reduction of good throughput. • Connection admission control (CAC) is separate from the MAC protocol. The overall performance of the integrated system is unpredictable.

  37. LOCATION SERVICE * Use of DATABASES to maintain records of MTs. * When location information is obtained from DATABASE, TERMINAL PAGING is used to deliver calls to MTs. * Requires signaling, querying and paging. LOCATION ADVERTISEMENT * No databases but location information is broadcast throughout the network.

  38. (3) HOME ZONE (4) Home Tier Home Tier Home Tier Zone Manager (5) Visitor Tier Visitor Tier Visitor Tier (2) (1) CURRENT ZONE Location Service: Method 1: Two Tier Database (Akyol/Cox’96) PREVIOUS ZONE

  39. Explanation: * Bi-level databases are distributed to ZONES throughout the network. * Each zone is maintained by a ZONE MANAGER controlling the zone’s location update procedures. * Each MT has a home zone where it is permanently registered. MT transmits a location registration request message to the new zone. Message contains User ID Number, authentication data and ID of the previous zone. Current zone manager determines the home zone of the MT from the previous zone ID. Current and home zone managers authenticate the user and update home user profile with the new location information. Home zone sends a copy of the profile to the current zone manager which stores the profile in the visitor tier of its database. Current zone manager sends a purge message to the previous zone manager so that user’s profile is deleted from the visitor tier before.

  40. Location Advertisement: Method 1: Virtual Connection Tree (Veeraraghavan et.al.’97) Portable Base Station (PBS) Cell Boundary De-registration message MT’s Former position Registration message

  41. VCT advertises location information via provisioned virtual paths. A collection of PBSs connected via provisioned VPs forms a connection tree. PBSs are equipped with switching capabilities and limited buffering capabilities. Trees are based on the mobility indications of the MT. Each PBS maintains a running list of resident MTs in its coverage area. Location registration occurs when MT is on/off or it moves to a new service area. On/Off case, MT sends a message to its local (current) PBS which then adds/deletes the MT to/from the service list. When MT moves to a new service area of a PBS, the PBS sends a de-registration message to the old PBS on behalf of the MT and enters the MT’s ID into its current list.

  44. Full Connection Re-Routing: Maintains the connection by establishing a completely new route for each handoff as if it were brand new call. Route Augmentation: Extends the original connection with a hop to the MTs next location. Partial Connection Re-Routing: Re-establishes certain segments of the original connection, while preserving the remainder. Multicast Connection Re-Routing: Combines the 3 techniques but includes the maintenance of potential handoff connection routes to support the original connection, reducing the time spent in finding a new route for handoff.
