Increasing the throughput of the HomePNA MAC protocol
29th Annual IEEE International Conference on Local Computer Networks
Preserved Fulltext
This paper proposes a new mechanism to increase the HomePNA 2.0 MAC protocol throughput. First, we review the HomePNA MAC protocol and its collision resolution mechanism. Then, we use simulations to evaluate the throughput of HomePNA using a module that we implemented in the ns-2 simulator. We propose a priority aggregation mechanism that uses the 8 HomePNA priority levels in a more efficient way. The simulation results show that the proposed mechanism is able to increase the throughput up to
