Summary: MAC Protocol Features
n
Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) provides efficient
medium sharing
– Use Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA)
– MAC uses the PHY layer Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) function for
CSMA/CA
n
Robust for interference
– CSMA/CA + ACK for unicast frames, with MAC level recovery
– CSMA/CA for broadcast frames
n
Virtual carrier sense function provided to protect against hidden nodes
n
Includes fragmentation to cope with different PHY characteristics
n
Point Coordination Function (PCF) option for time bounded data
n
Frame formats to support multiple configurations and roaming
