Multi-Gbps MAC Design and Real-Time Experiment for IMT-Advanced Wireless Nomadic Access

In this paper, high performance MAC is designed and implemented to support multi-gigabit physical layer. New algorithms and Control channels are introduced for low MAC latency and high MAC throughput. The new multi-gigabit nomadic/local area wireless access, called NoLA, is implemented using the proposed MAC. NoLA demonstrated the multi-gigabit service with full HD video streams where the proposed high performance MAC supports the 84 full HD video streams in real time. The implemented NoLA system shows near 1.8Gbps MAC throughput, which can meet the requirements of the gigabit IMT-Advanced wireless nomadic access. It is proved that the proposed high performance MAC used in NoLA can be one of the promising solutions for the future multi-gigabit wireless communication systems.
