Abstract
In this paper we evaluate the potentials of the
Frame Descriptor Table concept. Newly developed mobile radio
interfaces beyond 3rd generation (B3G) present a new set of
challenges in regard to medium access control protocols. Beside
the requirement of supporting high Quality of Service B3G
systems will need to achieve high spectral efficiency. Hence, new
concepts have to be developed in order to enhance the efficiency
of resource reservation. This work evaluates the performance of
the promising concept of Frame Descriptor Tables (FDT)
introduced in [1] regarding its impact on delay and throughput.
Assuming a frame based reservation scheme, the concept helps
to reduce signaling overhead by eliminating redundant
description of frame layout across frames. This is done by
caching the descriptions of frame layouts 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 simulations
done in the course of this work show the resulting positive
effects on signaling overhead. The results presented show a
reduction of overhead and the feasibility and usefulness of
establishing TDMA channels using a MAC protocol employing a
frame based reservation.
