چکیده

With the proliferation of cheaper electronic devices, wireless communication over multiple-channels in a multi-interface network is now possible. For instace, wireless sensor nodes can now operate over multiplechannels. Moreover, cognitive radio sensor networks are also evolving, which also operates over multiple-channels. In the market, we can find antennas that can support the operation of multiple channels, for e.g. the cc2420 antenna that is used for communication between wireless sensor nodes consists of 16 programmable channels. The proper utilization of multiple-channels reduces the interference between the nodes and increase the network throughput. Recently, a Cognitive Radio Cognitive Network (CRCN) patch for NS-2 simulator has proposed to support multi-channel multi-interface capability in NS-2. In this tutorial, we consider how to simulate a multi-channel multiinterface wireless network using the NS-2 simulator. This tutorial is trageted to the novice users who wants to understand the implementation of multi-channel multi-interface in NS-2. We take the Cognitive Radio Cognitive Network (CRCN) patch for NS-2 simulator and demonstrate broadcasting over multiple-channels in a multi-interface network setting. In our seeting, node braodcasts the Hello packets to its neighbors. Neighboring nodes receive the Hello packets if and only if they are tuned to the same channel. We demonstrate through example that the tuning of receivers can be done in two fashions.

An Efficient Routing Algorithm to Lifetime Expansion in Wireless Sensor Networks

This paper proposes an efficient network architecture to improve energy consumption in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The proposed architecture uses a mobile data collector to a partitioned network. The mobile data collector moves to center of each logical partition after each decision period. The mobile data collector must declare its new location by packet broadcasting to all sensor node...

Design of a Low-Latency Router Based on Virtual Output Queuing and Bypass Channels for Wireless Network-on-Chip

Wireless network-on-chip (WiNoC) is considered as a novel approach for designing future multi-core systems. In WiNoCs, wireless routers (WRs) utilize high-bandwidth wireless links to reduce the transmission delay between the long distance nodes. When the network traffic loads increase, a large number of packets will be sent into the wired and wireless links and can...
