Opportunistic Aloha and Cross Layer Design for Sensor Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a novel distributed medium access control scheme called opportunistic ALOHA for reachback in sensor networks with mobile agents. Each sensor transmits its information with a probability that is a function of its channel state (propagation channel gain). This function called transmission control is then designed under the assumption that orthogonal CDMA is employed to transmit information. The gains achieved in the throughput by use of transmission control are analyzed and evaluated numerically. The variation of the average number of transmitting users with distance from the collecting agent is analyzed. The proposed reachback protocol can be used in a variety of sensor network applications. We end by giving two examples of how the reachback protocol can be used by the sensor network to transmit information reliably to the collecting agent. The maximum rate at which the information can be reliably transmitted with the proposed schemes is evaluated as a function of the performance parameters of the reachback protocol.

متن کاملSensitivity and Coding of Opportunistic ALOHA in Sensor Networks with Mobile Access
We consider a distributed medium access protocol, Opportunistic ALOHA, for reachback in sensor networks with mobile access points (AP). We briefly discuss some properties of the protocol, like throughput and transmission control for an orthogonal CDMA physical layer. We then consider the incorporation of necessary side information like location into the transmission control and numerically demo...
متن کاملCross-layer design for decentralized detection in WSNs
A wireless sensor network (WSN) deployed for detection applications has the distinguishing feature that the sensors cooperate to perform the detection task. Therefore, the decoupled and maximum throughput design approaches typically used to design communication networks do not lead to the desired optimal detection performance. Recent work on decentralized detection has addressed the design of m...

Due to the resource constraint and dynamic parameters, reducing energy consumption became the most important issues of wireless sensor networks topology design. All proposed hierarchy methods cluster a WSN in different cluster layers in one step of evolutionary algorithm usage with complicated parameters which may lead to reducing efficiency and performance. In fact, in WSNs topology, increasin...
