| Abstract | We evaluate the performance of an opportunistic multi-channel medium access control protocol and compare it to that of the corresponding single-channel MAC (S-MAC) and a non-opportunistic multi-channel MAC (M-MAC). We do this in three different settings: (1) an ideal scenario where no control channel is used and no sensing delay is incurred, (2) a more realistic scheme where users compete for access on a control channel using random access, and (3) a scheme similar to (2) but with a time-division multiplexing (TDM) based access scheme on the control channel. Our analysis and numerical results show that in terms of delay performance, the random access and competition on the control channel, which typically occupy a fraction of the total bandwidth, almost always wipe out the channel diversity gain, a main motivation behind an opportunistic multi-channel MAC. On the other hand opportunistic access increases bandwidth utilization which reduces the system's total busy time. As a result it helps reduce power consumption in general. When TDM is employed on the control channel, the data sub-channel sensing delay becomes the main bottleneck to attaining better performance. In this case the performance of opportunistic multi-channel MAC gets closer to that of the single-channel MAC when the channel sensing overhead is substantially reduced. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
