Multichannel CSMA with Signal Power-Based Channel Selection for Multihop Wireless Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a new carrier–sense multiple access (CSMA) protocol for multihop wireless networks, using multiple channels and a distributed channel selection scheme. The proposed protocol divides the available bandwidth intoN channels where the transmitting station selects an appropriate channel for packet transmission. The selection criterion is based on the interference power measurements on the channels. We show via simulations that this multichannel CSMA protocol provides a higher throughput compared to its single channel counterpart by reducing the packet loss due to collisions.

A multichannel CSMA MAC protocol with receiver-based channel selection for multihop wireless networks
In this paper, we propose a CSMA-based medium access control protocol for multihop wireless networks that uses multiple channels and a dynamic channel selection method. The proposed protocol uses one control channel and N data channels, where N is independent of the number of nodes in the network. The source uses an exchange of control packets on the control channel to decide on the best channe...
متن کاملA multichannel CSMA MAC protocol for multihop wireless networks
We describe a new carrier–sense multiple access (CSMA) protocol for multihop wireless networks, sometimes also called ad hoc networks. The CSMA protocol divides the available bandwidth into several channels and selects an idle channel randomly for packet transmission. It also employs a notion of “soft” channel reservation as it gives preference to the channel that was used for the last successf...

Busy tone multiple access protocols have been used in multihop networks to reduce the effect of the hidden terminal problem. This paper demonstrates another approach to reduce the effect of the hidden terminal problem namely the use of multiple channel schemes. A protocol that uses both the busy tone and the multiple channel techniques achieves the best performance. Using a Markov chain model a...

متن کاملMulti-channel Medium Access Control Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks: A Survey
Extensive researches on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been performed and many techniques have been developed for the data link (MAC) layer. Most of them assume single-channel MAC protocols. In the usual dense deployment of the sensor networks, single-channel MAC protocols may be deficient because of radio collisions and limited bandwidth. Hence, using multiple channels can significantly ...
