Mixed Integer Programming Model of MCCA-aware Acknowledging in Wireless Mesh Networks

Summary, in English

The paper investigates advantages of using an

MCCA-aware acknowledging system in IEEE 802.11s Wireless

Mesh Networks (WMN). The MCCA (MCF controlled channel

access) protocol allows for reserving time slots for a point-topoint

transmission over a wireless link. The protocol assures

that the transmission will not be hindered by any other 802.11

device that uses MCCA, by preventing all neighbors of both

sender and receiver from accessing the medium or accepting

reservations during the reserved time window. Communication

in the reserved time window is bidirectional, as it consists of data

frames sent by the sender and ACK frames sent by the receiver.

In the paper, benefits of using separate time window reservations

for the data frames and the ACK frames are presented and

confirmed numerically.
