Medium Access Control for XG Communications
Abstract
This report describes the results of Phase I of the architecture development in the DARPA NeXt Generation (XG) Communication program. XG is a multiphase program to define and demonstrate an architecture which will support the ability of communication and surveillance systems to sense the RF spectrum and adaptively use channels which are not in use on a non-interference basis. This report contains an overview of the project accomplishments, details can be found in a number of "sister" documents and Request for Comments (RFCs) distributions (available on the DARPA website) including: The XG Vision RFC describes the vision and goals of the XG program in general. The XG Architecture RFC presents the architecture, system components, and a high level conops for XG communications. The XG Abstract Behaviors RFC identifies key behaviors that must be implemented by an XG system. The XG Policy Language RFC describes the policy specification meta-language for implementing machine-understandable policies. The XG Policy Interface RFC describes the interface, or access methods, that can be used to pass information between an XG device and a policy reasoning engine. The XG Evaluation Platform describes the OPNET models of XG protocols.
