Multi-channel Busy-tone Multiple Access for Scalable Wireless Mesh Network
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper proposes a multi-channel medium access control (MAC) protocol for wireless mesh networks (WMNs) by using busy tones to prevent data packet collisions at data channels. Multi-channel MAC schemes can achieve higher network throughput than single channel MAC schemes in multihop wireless networks. It is especially appealing to exploit multiple channels in WMNs which has high capacity requirement to support backbone multimedia applications. Most previously proposed MAC protocols make use of the RTS/CTS mechanism to deal with data packet collisions caused by exposed/hidden terminal problems in multihop environment. However, when multiple channels are used for data transmissions, the RTS/CTS mechanism can no longer handle the exposed/hidden terminal successfully. By investigating the special features of WMN architecture, we apply the busy tone solution into the medium access control mechanism for WMNs, in which mesh nodes have no limit on power consumption. In this paper, we clearly presented the idea and operation of our proposed multichannel MAC protocol for WMNs. Comprehensive simulation is underway to compare the performance of our proposed mechanism with that of other RTS/CTS-based multi-channel MAC protocols.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
