Dong-Keun Jeon, Yeonwoo Lee · International Journal of Control and Automation · 2015
For a high-speed data transmission with guaranteed QoS and energy efficiency in a ship area network (SAN), we consider IEEE 802.15.3 based TDMA high-rate wireless personal area network (HR-WPAN) application.It is shown that the proposed SAN architecture with TDMA based HR-WPAN can provide a high quality wireless connectivity to the conventional dedicated wired devices and shipboard control network devices as a wireless gateway, by adaptively selecting transmission parameters such as transmission power and physical data rate for a fixed fragment size.Moreover, a realistic effect of ship building material such as steel (large ship) and FRP (medium size ship) is considered as a path loss parameter for performance evaluation.We demonstrated that the proposed TDMA based HR-WPAN system with the link transmission parameters selection algorithm could provide a good wireless network model applicable to the SAN architecture.
