Abstract

A new pointer-based wireless medium access control protocol is presented. The new protocol, pointer controlled slot allocation and resynchronisation protocol (PCSAR), was designed for centralized control wireless networks and is based on the existing IEEE 802.11 point coordination function (PCF) standard. OPNET was used to compare the steady state performance of PCSAR with the infrastructure power saving mode of IEEE 802.11, PCF-PS. The results demonstrate that the new protocol offers a significant improvement in energy efficiency without any reduction in performance. For a wireless picocell consisting of an access point and 8 stations in power saving mode, the average energy saving was 40% while using PCSAR instead of the PCF-PS. The results also show that PCSAR shows enhanced throughput and increased transmission efficiency over PCF-PS.
