Dynamic Polling MAC Scheme Considering Emergency Access in WSNs Based on Priorities

In Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs), polling can obviously improve the throughput and decrease average access delay by allocating bandwidth efficiently and reasonably. In this paper, a Dynamic Polling Media Access Control (DPMAC) scheme designed according to WSNs'features is proposed. DPMAC is a priority based access control protocol with the characteristics that its polling table is dynamically refreshed depending on whether the sensor node is active and that the bandwidth is dynamically allocated according to the traffic types. The access priorities are determined by the emergency levels of events and the scheduler proposed in our MAC is preemptive based on the deadline of the events. Simulation results show that DPMAC can efficiently utilize bandwidth and decrease average access delay and response time for emergency events with different access priorities in WSNs.
