Taking Advantage of Overhearing in Low Power Listening WSNs: A Performance Analysis of the LWT-MAC Protocol
نویسندگان
چکیده
LWT-MAC is a new Low Power Listening MAC protocol for WSNs designed to rapidly react to instantaneous increases of the network load. It takes advantage of overhearing by waking up all nodes at the end of a transmission to send or receive packets without needing to transmit the long preamble before. In this work, detailed analytical models of the LWT-MAC and B-MAC protocols, for both saturated and unsaturated conditions, are presented. Moreover, the key LWT-MAC parameters are optimized in order to minimize the energy consumption, constrained to obtain the same throughput as the IEEE 802.11 (CSMA/CA) MAC protocol. From the behavior of the optimal LWT-MAC parameters, a heuristic configuration is proposed. Finally, the LWT-MAC is compared to BMAC, in both single and multi-hop scenarios, showing improvements in energy consumption, throughput and delay.

Evaluating the LWT-MAC Performance in Query-Driven WSNs Using Data-Centric Routing
Data-centric routing is a new paradigm of routing mechanism adapted for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), where the data request and collection is done based on data attributes rather than node IDs and using only local interactions. An example of data-centric routing protocol is Directed Diffusion, in which sinks disseminate queries in order to collect data from a specific area. Both query disse...

متن کاملEarly Overhearing Avoidance in Wireless Sensor Networks
To reduce the overhearing cost of long preambles in low power listening (LPL), we propose an early overhearing avoidance technique, in which the destination address is embedded into the continuous preamble. The overhearing can be stopped after receiving a short preamble block, which is much earlier than after the whole data packet is received. Based on this idea, a novel low power media access ...
