Toumpis Despite significant research effort the performance of distributed medium access control methods has failed to meet theoretical expectations. This paper proposes a protocol named Channel MAC performing a fully distributed medium access control based on opportunistic communication principles. In this protocol nodes access the channel when the channel quality increases beyond a threshold while neighbouring nodes are deemed to be silent. Once a node starts transmitting it will keep transmitting until the channel becomes bad. We derive an analytical throughput limit for Channel MAC in a shared multiple access environment. Furthermore three performance metrics of Channel MAC throughput fairness and delay are analysed in single hop and multihop scenarios using NS2 simulations. The simulation results show throughput performance improvement of up to 130 with Channel MAC over IEEE . We also show that the severe resource starvation problem unfairness of IEEE in some network scenarios is reduced by the Channel MAC mechanism. Copyright 2009 Manzur Ashraf et al.
