Abstract:

Aim to reduce control frames consumption and improve the delay performance,a scheduled gated-service polling access (SGPA) mechanism was proposed,in which the total data packets in the buffer at the polling instant were aggregated into a data set,that was transmitted and acknowledged uniformly.Then,an inner-arrival gated-service polling (IAGP) model was proposed to analyze the quantitative relationship between failure retry mechanism and network access performance of the wireless local area network (WLAN) in RoF-DAS.The failure retry mechanism were modeled as the arrival and service process of inner customers in IAGP.Using the Markov chain and generating function method,the closed-form expressions for the quantitative relationship between delay performance and retrial parameters,such as retry times,and the probability of retransmission,were achieved.The simulation results show that the proposed SGPA can achieve a lower delay than IEEE 802.11,and the theoretical performance evaluation calculated by IAGP are identical with the simulation results,which provides an effective evaluation mechanism for the access performance in RoF-DAS WLAN,with inperfect channel and failure retry mechanism.
