Multicast routing protocols typically rely on the a-priori creation of a multicast tree (or mesh), which requires the individual nodes to maintain state information. In sensor networks where traffic is bursty, with long periods of silence between the bursts of data, this multicast state maintenance adds a large amount of overhead for no benefit to the application. Thus, we have developed a stateless...
Broadcast communications is critically important in vehicular networks. Many safety applications need safety warning messages to be broadcast to all vehicles present in an area. Design of a medium access control (MAC) protocol for vehicular networks is an interesting problem because of challenges posed by broadcast traffic, high mobility, high reliability and low delay requirements of these networks...
This paper proposes AREA-MAC, a medium access control (MAC) protocol for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). AREA-MAC reduces latency and energy consumption of nodes by using low power listening (LPL) with short preamble messages. Other protocols like B-MAC use long preamble messages that cause higher latency, energy consumption, and control overhead on nodes. AREA-MAC provides a reasonable trade-off...
This paper introduces a combined geographic and a Media Access Control (MAC) protocol for mesh, ad-hoc and cognitive networks. For mesh and ad-hoc networks, this paper examines the end-to-end (source to destination) link performance characteristics when supporting multimedia traffic. This paper also explains the cognitive network concept prior to analyzing cognitive network related results. The performance...
Energy-efficient performance is a central challenge in sensor network deployments, and the radio is a major contributor to overall energy node consumption. Current energy- efficient MAC protocols for sensor networks use a fixed low power radio mode for putting the radio to sleep. Fixed low power modes involve an inherent tradeoff: deep sleep modes have low current draw and high energy cost and latency...
