DLD-MAC:一种区分服务的低时延传感器网络MAC协议

针对现有无线传感器网络MAC协议不能提供区分服务和传输时延较大的问题,在经典多跳传输协议DW-MAC的基础上,提出了一种具有区分服务功能的低时延MAC协议—DLD-MAC(Diffserv-based Low-Delay MAC)。其基本思路是让高优先级数据选择更小的竞争窗口,以降低时延和能耗。Markov建模分析表明,DLD-MAC能对不同优先级的业务流进行很好的服务区分,而且相较于传统的无线传感器网络MAC协议,其在时延性能上有显著优势,能更有效地保障服务质量。

DLD-MAC:A Diffserv-based Low-delay MAC Protocol for WSNs

Considering that most of the existing MAC protocols in wireless sensor networks do not support any priority scheme,this paper proposed a novel,Diffserv-based low-delay MAC mechanism(DLD-MAC),on the basis of the exis-ting DW-MAC protocol.The main idea is that,by introducing differentiated services,the high priority data chooses smaller back-off window,so that it can achieve much more chance to be delivered,and its packet transmission latency and energy consumption can be reduced significantly compared with low priority data.On the other hand,a Markov chain model was designed in this work,to analyze and evaluate the mechanism performance.Our analytical analyses show that the proposed DLD-MAC can effectively make the high priority data achieve higher QoS over the low priority data,and achieve much lower transmission latency than traditional MAC protocol as well,which is adequate to serve delay-sensitive data flow.
