Abstract
In this paper we analyse the potential savings in
MAC signaling overhead by introducing Frame Descriptor
Tables. Newly developed mobile radio interfaces beyond 3rd
generation (B3G) present a new set of challenges in regard to
medium access control protocols. In order to meet high Quality
of Service requirements, B3G systems will need to possess an
efficient method for reservation of the wireless medium. Hence,
new concepts have to be developed in order to enhance the
efficiency of resource reservation. This work analyses the
promising concept of Frame Descriptor Tables (FDT)
introduced in [1]. Assuming a frame based reservation scheme,
the concept helps to reduce signaling overhead by eliminating
redundant description of frame contents across frames. This is
done by caching the description of frame contents in mobile
stations and referencing a certain description by transmitting an
associated ID. This merges the concepts of frame based resource
reservation and the reservation of TDMA channels in order to
take advantage of the merits of both concepts. The analysis done
in the course of this work show the positive effects on signaling
overhead. The FDT concept is applied in a single-hop as well as
in a multi-hop (relaying) scenario. The results presented show a
reduction of overhead and establishment of TDMA channels
using a MAC protocol employing a frame based reservation is
feasible and promising.
