In this paper, we present a new MAC protocol satisfying with both high energy efficiency and low transmission latency at the same time over wireless sensor network, named as medium reservation preamble based MAC (MRPM). The proposed MRPM is a synchronized duty cycle MAC protocol. MRPM has three main features. The first feature is that MRPM does not have separate time frames for Sync and data traffics...
In this paper, we present the new energy efficient MAC protocol for WSN, named as medium reservation preamble based MAC (MRPM). Inspired by S-MAC, the proposed MRPM is also a synchronized duty cycle MAC protocol. However, unlike S-MAC, the proposed protocol doesn't have separate time frame for Sync and data traffics. Both traffics are integrated in a short listen period. The listen period is further...
A lifetime of several years for wireless sensor nodes can be achieved if their activity period is minimized. This can be done by using low duty cycle protocols. One of the challenges of these low duty cycle protocols is the synchronization of wake-up times. This becomes even more demanding if a wired central sink, which takes care of the schedule, is missing and communication links are unreliable...
We present a practical plant-and-play wireless sensor network system for entry-exit monitoring. Our system is easily configurable and robust, making it feasible to be deployed in a wide range of entry-exit monitoring applications. At the core of our system lies a novel MAC protocol that is self-synchronizing. Notably, our MAC protocol allows the nodes to maintain a very low duty cycle (the radios...
In this paper, we provide a general framework of distributed medium access control (DMAC) and synchronization for ad-hoc sensor networks with omni-directional antennas. Compared to existing works that focus on minimizing the energy consumption, our design objectives aim to increase the throughput, to lower the latency, and to solve hidden and exposed nodes problem in a traffic-heavy and dynamic environment...
Resilience to electromagnetic jamming and its avoidance are difficult problems. It is often both hard to distinguish malicious jamming from congestion in the broadcast regime and a challenge to conceal the activity patterns of the legitimate communication protocol from the jammer. In the context of energy-constrained wireless sensor networks, nodes are scheduled to maximize the common sleep duration...
Time synchronization and energy saving are important for sleeping-based media access control protocols in wireless sensor networks. Existing time synchronization methods were not designed for energy-efficient and sleeping based MAC protocol in WSN in mind. We proposed the energy-efficient clustering time synchronization algorithm by introduce synchronization schedule adopting and border node controlling...
Radio duty cycling has received significant attention in sensor networking literature, particularly in the form of protocols for medium access control and topology management. While many protocols have claimed to achieve significant duty-cycling benefits in theory and simulation, these benefits have often not translated into practice. The dominant factor that prevents the optimal usage of the radio...
Energy efficiency is a primordial issue in the wireless sensor networks. This is achieved by deactivating nodes when possible. In this paper we describe the MAC protocol MaCARI that synchronizes nodes in order to schedule active and inactive periods. MaCARI divides time into three periods: a synchronization period, a scheduled activities period where communications are constrained by a tree and an...
In the wireless sensor networks (WSNs), Synchronous approaches share the schedule information that specifies the cycle of active and sleep period by the control packets. On the other hand, asynchronous approaches do not exchange the synchronization information to send or receive data. Instead, they employ preamble sampling to do that. In this paper, we compare and analyze synchronous and asynchronous...
As wireless motes are battery powered, many listen-sleep Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols have been proposed to reduce energy consumption. Security issues related to the design of these protocols have, however, largely been ignored. In this paper, we present a novel attack (the synchronization attack) on listen-sleep MAC protocols. This attack can cause 100% message loss and approximately 30%...
In this paper we have proposed and implemented a joint medium access control (MAC) -cum- routing scheme for environment data gathering sensor networks. The design principle uses node dasiabattery lifetimepsila maximization to be traded against a network that is capable of tolerating: (a) A known percentage of combined packet losses due to packet collisions, network synchronization mismatch and channel...
