摘要
In order to improve the throughput performance of the secondary users （SUs） in the cognitive radio （CR） environment, a quality of service （QoS） based media access control （MAC） protocol is proposed. In this protocol, the CR node maps the channel state as a vector, and the transmitter and the receiver obtain the final channel map through an AND operation to prepare for an optional channel set. Data from the upper application layer are classified into two priority levels according to the QoS requirement. The data of each level relate to different contention windows so that the priority of real time data can be guaranteed. A two-dimensional discrete-time Markov chain is utilized to evaluate the system performance, and mathematical expressions of the system throughput are derived. Simulation results show that compared with the IEEE 802. 11 distributed coordination function （DCF）, the proposed MAC protocol can achieve higher throughput.
为提高认知环境中次用户的吞吐量性能,提出了一种基于QoS的MAC协议. 认知节点将信道状态映射为向量,收端与发端通过"与"操作得到最终的信道映射,并获得备选信道集合. 上层应用程序传来的数据根据QoS要求被划分为2个优先级,每种级别的数据对应不同的竞争窗口,从而保证了实时数据具有较高的优先级. 使用二维离散时间马尔科夫链分析了系统的性能并推导出系统吞吐量的数学表达式. 仿真结果证实,与IEEE 802.11 DCF相比,所提协议有助于提高系统吞吐量.
