An Energy-Efficient and Low-Latency MAC Protocol Based on Adaptive Coordination Contention Window for Wireless Sensor Networks
摘要整理
Wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of massive small sensor nodes which are located in monitoring region, the target of which is to cooperatively sense, collect and process the information of objects in the coverage area, then send the information to the observer through wireless communication. It can be widely used in military applications, medical treatment, traffic, environment monitoring and so on. Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol, which decides how to share the wireless channel, allocates the limited communication resource among nodes and a good MAC protocol can save lots of energy and reduce collision. Firstly the thesis analyzed the research background and the current situation at home and abroad, and then discussed the structural characteristics of wireless sensor networks and other content, in which indicating the energy consumption of the wireless sensor network; Then, the thesis compared and analyzed the MAC protocols of the wireless sensor Network, focusing on competition-based MAC protocol S-MAC protocol in detail. From the shortcomings of the thesis proposed a new study of the improved protocol basing on the random work sleep scheduling mechanism; Finally, the thesis simulated the improving the MAC protocol, showing that the performances of the improved protocol are better than the original in improving energy efficiency, delay, throughput and so on from the analysis of simulation results.
