Description
LTE-Advanced networks employ random access based on preambles

transmitted according to multi-channel slotted Aloha principles. The

random access is controlled through a limit W on the number of

transmission attempts and a timeout period for uniform backoff after a

collision. We model the LTE-Advanced random access system by formulating

LTE-Advanced networks employ random access based on preambles

transmitted according to multi-channel slotted Aloha principles. The

random access is controlled through a limit W on the number of

transmission attempts and a timeout period for uniform backoff after a

collision. We model the LTE-Advanced random access system by formulating

the equilibrium condition for the ratio of the number of requests

successful within the permitted number of transmission attempts to those

successful in one attempt. We prove that for W≤8 there is only one

equilibrium operating point and for W≥9 there are three operating

points if the request load ρ is between load boundaries ρ1

and ρ2. We analytically identify these load boundaries as well as

the corresponding system operating points. We analyze the throughput and

delay of successful requests at the operating points and validate the

analytical results through simulations. Further, we generalize the

results using a steady-state equilibrium based approach and develop

models for single-channel and multi-channel systems, incorporating the

barring probability PB. Ultimately, we identify the de-correlating

effect of parameters O, PB, and Tomax and introduce the

Poissonization effect due to the backlogged requests in a slot. We

investigate the impact of Poissonization on different traffic and

conclude this thesis.

REACT is a distributed resource allocation protocol that can be used to negotiate airtime among nodes in a wireless network. In this thesis, REACT is extended to support quality of service (QoS) airtime in an updated version called REACT QoS . Nodes can request the higher airtime class to receive priority in the network. This differentiated service is provided by using the access categories (ACs) provided by 802.11, where one AC represents the best effort (BE) class of airtime and another represents the QoS class. Airtime allocations computed by REACT QoS are realized using an updated tuning algorithm and REACT QoS is updated to allow for QoS airtime along multi-hop paths. Experimentation on the w-iLab.t wireless testbed in an ad-hoc setting shows that these extensions are effective. In a single-hop setting, nodes requesting the higher class of airtime are guaranteed their allocation, with the leftover airtime being divided fairly among the remaining nodes. In the multi-hop scenario, REACT QoS is shown to perform better in each of airtime allocation and delay, jitter, and throughput, when compared to 802.11. Finally, the most influential factors and 2-way interactions are identified through the use of a locating array based screening experiment for delay, jitter, and throughput responses. The screening experiment includes a factor on how the channel is partitioned into data and control traffic, and its effect on the responses is determined.
