FD-OMAC: A Novel Full-Duplex Optical Media Access Control for IEEE 802.15.7

Blog Article

Optical wireless communication (OWC), the IEEE 802.15.7 standard (revised 2018) is developed in normative reference to low-rate wireless personal area networks IEEE 802.15.

4 standard.One significant difference between the two standards is the highly directional transmitters in the OWC networks.This difference opens up the possibility of adding full-duplex communication to wireless networks.Our work proposes adding full-duplex functionality in the here contention-free period (CFP) of the OWC media access control (MAC) layer.

We justify the significance of our proposal by implementing IEEE 802.15.7 resource allocation scheme for both our proposed full-duplex optical MAC (FD-OMAC) and the IEEE 802.15.

7 MAC.Our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed work improves the spectral efficiency in the CFP without compromising delays.We also discuss the minor changes required in the IEEE 802.15.

7 MAC for implementing FD-OMAC.We further extend the FD-OMAC to a multiple access point network and evaluate its performance in klaire labs ashwagandha comparison with IEEE 802.15.7 MAC.
