The clustering algorithms designed for traditional sensor networks have been adapted for energy harvesting sensor networks (EHWSN). However, in these algorithms, the intra-cluster MAC protocols to be used were either not defined at all or they were TDMA based. These TDMA based MAC protocols are not specified except for the fact that cluster heads assign time slots to their members in a random manner...
Wireless HART is a state-of-the-art solution for a time-division multiple-access (TDMA) based wireless private area network. It combines slow frequency-hopping and a TDMA scheme that utilizes a centralized a-priori slot allocation mechanism. In this paper we conduct a performance evaluation of the Wireless HART TDMA protocol and provide insights into the major factors impacting energy consumption...
MAC protocol is of vital importance to the reliable communication of WSN for it schedules the limited wireless resources among sensor nodes. In this paper, focused on the intelligent transportation sensor network application requiring real-time transmission of a large amount of data, a MAC scheduling algorithm based on hybrid TDMA/FDMA scheme is proposed. The scheduling algorithm takes advantage of...
TDMA has been proposed as a MAC protocol for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) due to its efficiency in high WSN load. However, TDMA is plagued with shortcomings; we present modifications to TDMA that will allow for the same efficiency of TDMA, while allowing the network to conserve energy during times of low load (when there is no activity being detected). Recognizing that aggregation plays an essential...
Sensor network reprogramming is a challenging problem and code dissemination is one of the important part in this subject. This paper proposes a novel TDMA-based code dissemination protocol which can greatly reduce the redundant message receptions and collisions in the dissemination process. We divide a program image into pages and page dissemination is in pipeline to reduce latency and achieve easy...
The design of an efficient medium access control (MAC) for wireless ad hoc networks or wireless sensor networks is challenging. These kinds of network can benefit from communication protocols that avoid frame collision: time division multiple access (TDMA). However, ad hoc networking and sensor networks enable novel communication paradigms which require the definition of new quality-of-service (QoS)...
Desynchronization is a novel primitive for sensor networks: it implies that nodes perfectly interleave periodic events to occur in a round-robin schedule. This primitive can be used to evenly distribute sampling burden in a group of nodes, schedule sleep cycles, or organize a collision-free TDMA schedule for transmitting wireless messages. Here we present Desync, a biologically-inspired self-maintaining...
Wireless sensor network (WSN) is a new network family that enables to create smart environments. In this paper, a new TDMA based sensor network for military monitoring (MIL-MON) is proposed. MIL-MON is developed to operate in large areas for acceptable lifetime periods. In order to realize MIL-MON; time synchronization scheme, distributed time scheduling mechanism, topology construction algorithm...
