Modules Description: 1. Stations Registration:

RESERVATION is a well-known technique for arbitrating accesses to shared resources. In TDMA networks radio resource is organized by superframes, and a central coordinator can assign one or more time-slots in each superframe as reserved resources to stations. In reservation ALOHA, a time-slot can be automatically reserved by a station that successfully used. The built-in carriersensing mechanism in a CSMA network is leveraged to achieve synchronization among the wireless stations, but the fully random back off processes of the wireless stations are changed to an opportunistically random process. This new method, named semi-random back off (SRB), allows a station to reuse a time-slot in consecutive back off cycles.
2. Network construction:

Perform the Sender, receiver configuration by selecting stations. Each station randomly probes unused time-slots in the service ring and occupies them once the probe succeeds. The SRB requires only the status information of a prior transmission and incurs no extra overhead compared to existing DCF/EDCA. The SRB is also not as effective under light traffic loads due to failed slot reservation across multiple backoff cycles. This is because SRB claims a time-slot merely by continuously accessing it in each backoff cycle. If a reserved time-slot is not used in a backoff cycle (called an empty slot), it will automatically be released. To overcome this problem, we advocate a persistent back off scheme for SRB.
3. Resource reservation:

SRB builds on the underlying assumption that contending stations decrease their back off counters concurrently upon idle slots. This assumption does not always hold true. The use of arbitrary interframe space (AIFS), the presence of hidden/exposed terminals, as well as some other factors can break this assumption.

4. Throughput and performance:

We provide a simple yet flexible mechanism that dynamically controls the service ring size to boost the system throughput when the number of active stations in the network changes over time. Observe the throughput and performance with loaded and unloaded links, based on time slot request time is changed from station to station. Conclusion: SRB is a simple, elegant, and effective approach that achieves resource reservation in a CSMA network at no extra cost. In SRB, a station simply needs to track the results of its data transmission to properly reset the back off counter, and sense the wireless channel to synchronize the decrement of its back off counter with other stations, both of which are already common components for a CSMA network. In the case of imperfect carrier sense, clock skew, or the presence of hidden terminals, SRB reverts back to a random back off scheme.
