- Abstract
- To enhance the wireless spectrum efficiency, a practical MAC protocol which supports discontinuous channel bonding is proposed. The protocol modifies the traditional frame structure and the access mode of MAC to bear the new idea. It adopts the traditional channel bonding scheme in case of that there are continuous narrow channels; while it adopts discontinuous channel bonding scheme in case of that narrow channels are discontinuous, thus to achieve a parallel transmission. Simulation results indicate that the MAC protocol focused can get obvious advantages on effective bandwidth compared with the continuous channel bonding MAC. © 2013 IEEE.
