A MAC Protocol for Maximum Allocation of Transmitted Streams after Receiving Multiple RTSs in MIMO Ad Hoc Networks
Motoki Shirasu, Iwao Sasase (Keio Univ.) CS2006-36
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) MIMA-MAC is the most attractive MAC protocol for MIMO ad hoc networks, which consist of nodes with multiple antennas. MIMA-MAC, however, uses only a half of antennas for data transmission regardless of the number of antennas or transmission demands of neighboring nodes. In this paper, we propose a new MAC protocol for MIMO ad hoc networks which can always maximize the number of transmitted streams. In the proposed protocol, since a receiver can determine the maximum allowable number of streams after receiving up to two RTS packets, communication can be performed at the maximum receivable number of streams. In addition, RTS and CTS packets convey the number of the maximum transmitted streams and the maximum allowable streams, respectively, which enables the proposed protocol to communicate at the maximum receivable number of streams even in antenna-heterogeneous environments. Our simulation results show that the proposed protocol can enhance the network throughput, and decrease the amount of control data per data packet compared with MIMA-MAC.
