A Novel Real-Time Mac Layer Protocol For Wireless Sensor Network Applications, B.K. Singh, Kemal Tepe Jan 2009

A Novel Real-Time Mac Layer Protocol For Wireless Sensor Network Applications, B.K. Singh, Kemal Tepe

Electrical and Computer Engineering Publications

This paper presents a comparative study of existing real-time MAC layer protocols for wireless sensor networks. Then, a new real-Time MAC protocol is presented that is based on a general purpose MAC protocol, called S-MAC. While medium access strategy in S-MAC is based on contention and back-off schemes, protocol proposed in this paper uses feedback approach as a medium access strategy. As a result of this, it increases consistency in data transmission pattern, which enables it to guarantee end-to-end delay deadlines for soft realtime applications. Proposed protocol works in continuous ON mode of operation at MAC layer and is intended …


Game Theoretic Approach In Routing Protocol For Wireless Ad Hoc Networks, Mohammad Naserian, Kemal Tepe Jan 2009

Game Theoretic Approach In Routing Protocol For Wireless Ad Hoc Networks, Mohammad Naserian, Kemal Tepe

Electrical and Computer Engineering Publications

This paper introduces a game theoretic method, called forwarding dilemma game (FDG), which controls routing overhead in dense multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks. The players of the game are the wireless nodes with set of strategies {Forward, Not forward}. The game is played whenever an arbitrary node in the network receives a flooding packet. In FDG, every player needs to know the number of players of the game. That is why a neighbor discovery protocol (NDP) is introduced. In order for NDP to function, a field is attached to the flooding packets (routing overhead packets). The mixed strategy Nash equilibrium …
