GettingStarted/MAC
v3 v4 17 17 18 18 == Requirements for MAC == 19 To use the existing infrastructure as-is, the MAC layer must be random-access. That being said, scheduled-access MAC algorithms are very possible and have had some success already on WARP ([wiki:OFDMAReferenceDesign OFDMA Reference Design]). The primary example of a MAC layer that is well-matched to the underlying infrastructure is [wiki:CSMAMAC CSMAMAC], our carrier-sensing random-access MAC layer. Derivatives of this MAC are found in the lab exercises.19 To use the existing infrastructure as-is, the MAC layer must be random-access.
