Abstract :
Next generation wireless personal area networks (WPAN) are intended for a variety of applications. The Multiband OFDM Alliance (MBOA) is currently developing a new physical layer (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) protocol, which fit the needs of this mass market. The MBOA standards provide wireless technology offering data rates of up to 480 Mbit/s. Besides support for quality of service (QoS), ease of use and reliability are major features of the upcoming standard. Furthermore, the MBOA protocol provides seamless isochronous and packet oriented services. In this paper we provide technical insight into the new MBOA MAC and PHY layer, and we present detailed simulation results of the distributed reservation protocol (DRP) and the prioritized channel access (PCA) using the WARP2 simulation environment
