Popis: Due to the large number of light weight, low power devices in the future Internet, an efficient distributed multiple access protocol that can support a small fixed number of machines with continuous traffic along with a large variable number of devices with sporadic traffic is needed. The traffic in the future Internet has fundamentally different requirements: first, the accessing devices are of low power, which limit the transmission range; secondly, the delay is very stringent; thirdly, the number of active devices is time varying. In this paper, we propose a finite projective plane (FPP) based multiple access protocol (FISH) to meet such requirements. A low power node can transmit the replicas of a data packet in multiple time slots to achieve the same range of transmission as a high power node at one time. The initialization time slot of a frame allows for the estimation of the number of active nodes and the adjustment of the size of the frame to maximize the throughput. The interference cancellation and conflict resolution scheme of the FISH protocol is based on the theory of FPP. By using the property that the union of the sets of the FPP sharing one common point is a complete set, we are able to extract each of the individual user signals. One distinguishing feature of the FISH protocol is the amplification of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which can either extend the transmission range or improve the bit error rate without sacrificing the throughput. In the performance evaluation, we demonstrate that the throughput is identical to the Slotted Aloha, while the SNR is magnified m times, where m is the order of the FPP. The proposed FISH protocol is of great use in the machine-to-machine communications as well as traditional cellular and satellite systems.
