  Abstract

In this paper, a novel multiple access scheme using SMA(Split and Merge Algorithm) is proposed to reduce the accessdelay of wireless MAC protocols. The key idea of the SMA is to dynamically split and merge the contending terminals depending on their traffic loads for effective control of access to the channels. The SMA divides the collided terminals into several sub-groups if a collision occurs and merges the idle terminals of the split sub-groups into their original group. The merge algorithm can be used to resolve collision and split operation can be used to dynamic group management. The simulation results indicate that our algorithm may provide a higher throughput and a lower collision rate than the existing algorithms, especially under heavy traffic loads.
