HCEEDMAC protocol for wireless multimedia networks

This paper describes the High capacity energy efficient Dynamic MAC protocol (HCEEDMAC) for WCDMA wireless multimedia networks to allocate system resources to multimedia users for QoS provisioning and for high resource utilization. The protocol is designed to support high capacity, Energy efficient and high throughput by using interference control and congestion control. High throughput is achieved by Dynamic MAC protocol (DMAC) using contention based scheduling. High capacity and Energy efficiency are achieved by using Adaptive Power Control technique (APC) which reduces the interference level and Adaptive Call Admission control (ACA) mechanism which controls the congestion by reducing the call blocking probability. By simulation results, we show that our proposed HCEEDMAC protocol achieves high capacity, Energy efficient and high throughput for multimedia data transmission.
