Cooperative transmission (CT) enables balanced energy consumption among sensor nodes and mitigates the energy hole problem in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In typical CT enabled medium access control (MAC) protocols, a source node decides to trigger CT or not based on a residual energy comparison between itself and its relay node. In this paper, we propose a receiver initiated CT MAC protocol,...
Overhearing and idle listening are two primary sources for unnecessary energy consumption in wireless sensor networks. Although introducing duty cycling in medium access control (MAC) reduces idle listening, it cannot avoid overhearing in a network with multiple contending nodes. In this paper, we propose an event-triggered sleeping (ETS) mechanism for synchronous duty-cycled (DC) MAC protocols in...
Due to limited energy capacity in mobile devices, energy harvesting is regarded as a promising technology for lifetime extension in device-to-device (D2D) communication. However, medium access control (MAC) protocols designed for D2D communication intrinsically do not consider the existence of harvested energy. In this paper we study four backoff (BO) algorithms, among which one algorithm is proposed...
Synchronized duty cycling (DC) aligns sensor nodes to wake up at the same time in order to reduce idle listening for medium access control (MAC) in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Demand wakeup MAC (DW-MAC) is a popular synchronous DC MAC protocol which allows nodes to compete and transmit multiple packets in one operational cycle. This multiple packet transmission (MPT) feature makes DW-MAC more...
Consider power allocation for Secondary User (SU) packet transmissions over multiple channels with variable Primary User (PU) arrival rates in cognitive radio networks. Two problems are studied in this paper: The first one is to minimize the collision probability with PUs and the second one is to maximize the data rate while keeping the collision probability bounded. It is shown that the optimal solution...
Cooperative MAC protocol design has attracted much attention recently thanks to the development of relaying techniques. In single-relay C-ARQ, the relay selection scheme cannot work efficiently in a dense network, due to high collision probability among different contending relays. In this paper, the throughput performance impairment from the collision is analysed in a typical network scenario. Thereby,...
This paper proposes a Multi-relay Cooperative Automatic Repeat ReQuest protocol (MC-ARQ) for IEEE 802.11 based wireless networks. The proposed distributed relay selection scheme not only selects the best relays but also solves the collision problem among multiple contending relays, by sorting the relays in the network according to their instantaneous channel quality with the destination node. No prior...
This paper presents two MAC strategies for multi-hop cognitive radio networks in single radio multi-channel cases. Both strategies use one of the idle multiple channels for communication among secondary users, and the network will leave the current channel and jump to another channel as a group if any primary user appears. The first strategy is based on a pre-defined pattern that will always tune...
