SMACK: Smart ACKnowledgment Scheme for Broadcast Messages in Wireless Networks Aveek Dutta, Dola Saha, Dirk Grunwald, Douglas Sicker, University of Colorado
Premise
•wireless protocols can exploit simultaneous transmission to reduce the cost of reliable multicast/broadcast transmission by orders of magnitude
Background
•OFDM is a modulation mechanism that allows for multi-user communication through orthogonal channels
Background
•OFDM is a modulation mechanism that allows for multi-user communication through orthogonal channels simultaneous transmission and reception
Protocol Summary
(1)Each node is assigned a unique “membership id”
(2)An AP sends the broadcast message
Protocol Summary
(1) Each node is assigned a unique “membership id”(2) An AP sends the broadcast message(3) Clients decode the broadcasted message (if
possible)

“membership id” to send back an ACK
Protocol Summary
(1)Each node is assigned a unique “membership id”
(2)An AP sends the broadcast message(3)Clients decode the broadcasted message (if
possible)(4)Client uses assigned subcarrier specified by
“membership id” to send back an ACK(5)AP receives composite signal of all subcarriers
and demodulates the individual ACK’s
How does the AP know when a station is transmitting a tone?•Checks if average received signal
strength (RSS) is above some constant threshold
Varying Signal Power
•Want: One single threshold to detect clients in the network
•Problem: signal powers from clients may vary widely
•Solution: adjusting the transmission power of clients such that received power from all clients are within a tolerable range▫Existing channel assessment techniques
done in CDMA
Timing Concerns
• All subcarriers must be present with sufficient energy within the FFT window.▫near-far effect ▫different processing power of the client
nodes
Experimental Setup
•Using SDR platform with an OFDM transceiver using a Virtex-IV FPGA
•Used 2.484GHz as the carrier frequency for the experiment
Results
•Can use simple FT to detect multiple tone transmission no matter how dense the subcarrier spacing is
•This protocol is feasible using reconfigurable radio to meet the timing constraint
