Energy-efficient MAC protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks

Designing energy-efficient Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols has a significant influence on the energy performance of wireless sensor network (WSN). In this paper we present a survey of the recent typical MAC protocols regarding energy effi ciency for WSN. According to channel access policies, we classify these protocols into four categories:contention-based, TDMA-based, hybrid, and cross layer protocols, in which the advantages and disadvantages in each class of MAC protocols are discussed. Finally, we point out open research issues that need to carry on to achieve high energy efficiency for the design of MAC protocols in WSN.     

Mobility Impact on Cluster Based MAC Layer Protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) enable a wide variety of applications resulting in still increasing requirements for the protocols supporting the operations. The medium access control (MAC) layer protocols are essential for improving the performance of an application and its quality of service because MAC protocols influence channel capacity utilization, network delay, energy consumption, and scalability. The contribution of this paper is two novel cluster-based time division multiple access (TDMA) scheduling MACs for WSNs and an analysis of the mobility impact on both. The proposed MAC layer protocols support real time applications where the cluster-based scheduling improves the scalability and also improves the performance in varying network conditions. The paper presents the design, implementation and performance evaluation of the proposed cluster based TDMA scheduling algorithms green conflict free (GCF) and multicolor-GCF (M-GCF) for high complexity and high requirement applications of WSNs under both low and high mobility conditions. The comparative evaluation shows that the M-GCF algorithm has better slot sharing and less conflicts with reduced communication energy consumption, delay, and good throughput under static and low mobility conditions while the GCF algorithm has better performance in high mobility scenarios. The paper also defines the mobility threshold that decides the use of the GCF- and M-GCF algorithms according to the mobility requirement of application.

The configuration space of duty-cycled CSMA-based wireless MACs

Wireless sensor network (WSN) applications vary widely in their traffic and node density patterns. Conventional wisdom says that a medium access control (MAC) protocol that performs well for one application can perform poorly for another. Perhaps as a result of this view, a large number of MAC protocols have been proposed, often with specific performance metrics in mind; many of the widely used ones have focused on the low duty cycle case. In this paper, we study how the choice of the MAC protocol as well as the configuration of its parameters impacts performance for diverse traffic rates and node densities. Specifically, we classify CSMA-based MAC protocols in terms of critical MAC-design factors and introduce a framework for performance modeling of each MAC class as a function of key protocol parameters. We use this framework to analyze various performance metrics comprehensively across the configuration space of the protocols; extensive experimentation corroborates our analysis. Our results serve not only as a basis for comparing protocols, they also yield insight into how to adapt MACs to changing traffics in a distributed way. Although the framework focuses on single-hop traffic patterns, potential for extending the framework to analyze richer application scenarios is also investigated and discussed. A surprising finding of our comparative evaluation is that one class of MAC protocols consistently achieves the best or close to the best performance for various metrics across much of the configuration space.     

Performance evaluation of candidate MAC protocols for LMCS/LMDSnetworks

Broadband wireless access (BWA) offers attractive features such as ease and speed of deployment, fast realization of revenues, and low infrastructure cost. This paper focuses on medium access control (MAC) alternatives that can find application in an LMDS/LMCS network capable of supporting multimedia traffic. Multifrequency demand assignment TDMA-based schemes appear (at the moment) to be a suitable choice in this context. The selected protocol should be dynamically capable of providing multirate capabilities and quality-of-service guarantees. An obvious candidate for the aforementioned purpose is the LMDS-specific MAC proposal in the DAVIC 1.2 recommendation. For purposes of comparison, we also examine the evolving IEEE 802.14 MAC convergence protocol and MCNS (multimedia cable network system) DOCSIS (ITU J-112) MAC standard that are intended to support similar applications and services in an HFC (hybrid fiber coax) environment. The three protocols are examined under noiseless and noisy channel conditions. Previous results on LMDS channel characteristics are summarized and used for modeling noisy channel conditions. The candidate protocols are compared in terms of mean access delay, throughput, and collision multiplicity statistics, when contention of users is involved. The effect of dynamic slot allocation on the performance of the candidate protocols is also examined
