Summary :

In this paper, we propose a modified R-ISMA (reserved idle signal multiple access) protocol for a wireless local area network (WLAN) with a hybrid system construction. The protocol can support a basic service area as large as that supported by a centralized system and allows the direct transmission between neighbor stations as in a distributed system without the problem of hidden terminals. Since a polling scheme is used during transmission of information packets, an ARQ (auto repeat request) scheme is easily applied. A dynamic analysis using transient fluid approximation analysys is used for performance evaluation. In the analysis, we use Fritchman channel model to describe a burst error environment. Some numerical examples using a set of practical system parameters are given. It is shown that the system performance is improved compared with a centralized system with R-ISMA.
