Medium Access Control Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks in Harsh Environments with Directional Antennas

Before initiating this work, a substantial amount of time is spent on studying algorithms related to improving performance of and MAC protocol [4] in Wireless Sensor Network

As it has been previously mentioned in 3.4.1, Command Shell is designed to be able to provide 6 basic functionalities: load a new MAC protocol, run a loaded MAC protocol, stop

In this work, we propose a power controlled directional MAC protocol which enable both transmission and reception of both data and control packets and also

A large portion of DAMA has been inspired by the IEEE 802.11 MAC, with major enhancements including a new neighbor discovery scheme, and an optimized circular

 TRAMA (Traffic Adaptive Medium Access Protocol) - The traffic adaptive medium access (TRAMA) [8] is a TDMA based protocol that has been designed for energy

Since the main function of medium access control protocol is to provide reliable data delivery in real time and congestion control, hence that will be primary focus on sub

Contention-free Scheduling TDMA MAC In this section we describe a new scheduler TDMA MAC protocol for wireless sensor / actuator networks using a periodic message model with

Simulation experiments indi- cate that by using the proposed protocol with 4 directional antennas per node, the average throughput in the network can be improved upto 2 to 3 times
