Efficient, backoff-based MAC protocols for RCSFs

By Amadou Malado Dégnouma Ndiaye

Just as in traditional wireless networks, Medium Access Control (MAC) in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) continues to attract the attention of many researchers. For a variety of proposed medium access solutions, ensuring good throughput while conserving energy is a real challenge. Asynchronous MAC protocols are distinguished by their short cycle time and low communication cost. Recently, Improved Receiver Initiated MAC Protocol (IRI-MAC), a receiver oriented protocol, has been proposed to reduce collisions in RI-MAC by generating a unique Clear Channel Assessment time (CCA_time) per node. In this book, after showing the possibilities of collisions in IRI-MAC, we propose eIRIMAC, an IRI-MAC based Balancing mechanism to improve it. We show that the proposed solution generates a lower probability of collisions, and reduces Idle-listening through a backoff-based balancing mechanism.
