Escola Tècnica Superior d’Enginyeria de Telecomunicació de Barcelona Master of Science in Information and Communication Technologies Wireless Sensor Networks on-board Aircrafts: design and implementation of the Medium Access Control protocol by Cristian Sánchez The Wireless Sensor Networks is an upcoming technology with a huge potential. It has the ability of monitor an environment and provide the data collected to a central entity in a wireless way. The Sensor Wireless Application Network (SWAN) project, aims to develop a reliable on-board aircraft WSN prototype. This thesis deals with the design, implementation and testing of a Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol, planned on the SWAN project and adapted to TriaGnoSys requeriments. Also it has been designed, implemented and tested a TDMA scheduling algorithm conformed to the MAC sublayer requirements. The system has been implemented and tested at TriaGnoSys GmbH, Wessling, Germany.

Multi-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 ...
