QoS-oriented multifunctional wireless MAC for remote, rural, and difficult for access areas

A dramatic challenge of the remote, rural, and difficult for access (RRD) areas is the critical discrepancy of the modern 3G/4G communications centralized architecture with respect to the fully distributed topology of the RRD data streams. In this paper, we systematize the fundamental principles of the new QoS-aware radically distributed (grid-like) multifunctional multiple access control to long-delay wireless medium (MFMAC) which ensures best efficiency and low cost for large-scale RRD areas. The distributed and cooperative MFMAC dynamical control techniques, optimization tasks, and bandwidth resource management strategies are considered also. The proposed radically distributed networking technology will allow an effective supporting and integration of mobile satellite and terrestrial cellular, personal, WLAN, Wi-Fi, WiMAX, and other wireless systems of future generations 4G for such RRD regions, as BRIC (Brasilia, Russia, India, and China), Sea and Oceanpsilas Archipelago, Siberia, North Canada, Alaska, Central and South-East Asia, Latin America, Africa, Australia, etc.
