摘要: 随着移动通信技术的迭代更新，车联网(VANET)和无人机自组网(FANETs)已成为通信网络的重要组成部分，而媒体接入控制(MAC)协议则是移动自组织网络未来发展的核心研究内容之一。安全控制信息和用户业务信息是自组织网络最主要的两类信息，而两者不同的服务质量(QoS)需求对MAC机制的设计带来了严峻的考验。该文主要考虑车联网和无人机自组网，针对其网络特征，从不同的优化目标出发，对其使用的MAC协议进行分析与归纳，并对下一步的研究方向进行了思考与展望。Abstract: With the iterative update of mobile communication technology, Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks (VANETs) and Flying Ad-hoc NETworks (FANETs) have become significant parts of the communication network, and the Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol is one of the core research contents of the future development of Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs). Security control and user service are the two principal types of message in Ad-hoc networks, where their different Quality of Service (QoS) requirements bring severe challenges to the design of MAC mechanism. In this paper, VANETs and FANETs are mainly taken into consideration. According to their network characteristics and different optimization objectives, the MAC protocols used in them are analyze and summarized, while the future research directions are discussed and prospected.

表 5 无人机自组网的MAC协议特性整理
协议 特点 缺点 实验场景 高吞吐量原则 FRMA控制
协议[49](1)可以实现即时报文传输任务和多报文接收，提高了实时性；
(2)采用反馈重传机制，吞吐量得到了有效提高。(1)采用反馈重传机制增加了端到端的时延；
(2)流量负荷需根据时效性和可靠性的具体要求进行限制，不能做到自主化。模拟空对地的攻击任务，分4组共40架无人机完成对地面目标的打击；任意两组之间的距离均大于
2 km；集群之间可以进行信息传递。低功耗原则
低丢包率原则ELMAC协
议[50](1)基于萤火虫优化方案提供可靠的QoS指标；
(2)设计了有效的避碰、拥塞控制和节能算法。在MAC层捕获，耳聋问题并未得到解决。 由5～20架无人机构成无人机自组网，通过全向天线进行通信； 低丢包率原则
高吞吐量原则LMAC协
议[51](1)无人机可以通过学习最佳传输策略以确定最佳时隙和天线方向；
(2)克服了由于无人机的移动性引起的随机信道增益问题。(1)该协议需要地面基站进行辅助控制来消除干扰，场景限制较大；
(2)对于传输功率控制和数据速率的研究不足。由20架无人机构成无人机自组网，
地面站与无人机的距离为20～
400 m。高吞吐量
原则FS-MAC协
议[28](1)具有容错同步交换MAC协议功能；
(2)在考虑故障的无人机的情况下，实现多无人机之间的同步切换一致性。(1)条件限制太多，无法进行大规模的实验模拟；
(2)未考虑其他无人机自组网突发真实实验情况，如协议切换失败如何处理。均匀分布在球体空间的5～12架无人机组成的中小型无人机自组网结构，无人机之间均可以相互通信。 FMAC协
议[52](1)以较低的成本在密度变化的集群场景实现较高的可靠性；
(2)在接收到数据包有限的情况下也可以调整竞争窗口的大小，避免信道恶化。(1)无法实时调节更新竞争窗口的间隔长度和大小；
(2)对于周期性单跳数据包的传输，无人机集群的飞行环境过于简单。自由空间中的蜂拥，无人机群密度会变密，且存在4个圆形障碍物；每架无人机从移动的虚拟中心获取信息。 低功耗原则
低丢包率原则FM-MAC协
议[53](1)将多信道与定向天线结合以提供不同的QoS保障；
(2)针对链路中断问题，提供了基于移动预测的信道预约方案。固定长度的控制信道间隔和业务信道间隔无法根据不同分组的流量需求调整，不利于动态的网络环境。 所有无人机均配备相同的天线和无线电以进行通信；天线可以工作在全向模式或定向模式。 信道接入优先性原则 MCLA协
议[54](1)支持多个业务类，并保障最高优先级业务的极低时延和极高传输速率；
(2)采用自适应退避算法，灵活调节竞争窗口；
(2)根据信道的忙闲程度，控制业务信息对信道的访问。(1)并未详细阐述其他不同优先级的业务如何保障QoS；
(2)该文假设过多，无法在真实场景中完美应用。无人机随机分布在空间中，以随机方向进行匀速线性运动。 低功耗原则
高吞吐量原则FA-MMAC
协议[55](1)通过子信道的划分和多波束的复用，从空间和频域分配资源；
(2)解决了定向传输、隐藏终端和耳聋等干扰问题；
(3)无人机之间的并行传输能力得到了提升。(1)该协议对于波束的切换问题研究较少，需要进行改进以减少无人机移动性带来的影响；
(2)假设情况下物理信道中误码率为0，且不存在传输延迟，这在现实场景下基本不存在。由在相同高度飞行的无人机集群组成无人机自组网，并采用GPS进行同步。
