A MAC Perspective on Multiuser Detection in Ad Hoc Networks
(0) The deployment of wireless ad hoc networks faces severe limitations by mutual interference between wireless devices. In this work, we introduce a method to alleviate interference using a medium access control (MAC) layer exploiting multiuser detection (MUD). Instead of interference avoidance, the primary task of such a MAC layer is interference handling. To this end, we first identify link layer requirements for deploying MUD in a decentralized and self-organizing network. Based on these requirements, we propose a MAC protocol supporting MUD. We estimate possible throughput gains of this protocol. Network simulations confirm the analytical results and show remarkable throughput improvements.
