Title

A Mac Layer Protocol For Wireless Networks With Asymmetric Links

Keywords

AsyMAC; Asymmetric link; Heterogeneous MANET

Abstract

We introduce AsyMAC, a MAC layer protocol for wireless networks with asymmetric links and study a protocol stack consisting of AsyMAC and the A4LP routing protocol. The two protocols are able to maintain connectivity where the standard IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol coupled with either AODV or OLSR routing protocols may loose connectivity. A comparative study shows that AsyMAC improves on two previously proposed protocols' accuracy in determining the nodes to be silenced to prevent collisions.
