In this paper, we research the performance of direct and non-direct multiple relays cooperative truncated automatic repeat request (D/ND-MRCT-ARQ) protocols in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). We propose a method that named discrete time Markov chain (DTMC) with N + 2 states, which could obtain the throughput formulas of D/ND-MRCT-ARQ protocols. Furthermore, we solve the mathematical expressions of the average transmission delay of both protocols by truncating the number of packet retransmission. In addition, we derive energy efficiency formulas of both protocols under considering the different power consumption of each node. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed D-MRCT-ARQ protocol achieve higher throughput and energy efficiency while fewer average packet transmission delay, as compared with the ND-MRCT-ARQ protocol.

AbstractThe Internet of Things (IoT) is the latest Internet development, with billions of Internet-connected devices and a wide range of industrial applications. Wireless sensor networks are an important part of the Internet of Things. It has received extensive attention from researchers due to its large-scale, self-organizing, and dynamic characteristics and has been widely used in industry, traffic information, military, environmental monitoring, and so on. With the development of microprocessor technology, sensor nodes are becoming more and more powerful, which enables the same wireless sensor networks (WSNs) platform to meet the different quality of service (QoS) requirements of many applications. Applications for industrial wireless sensor networks range from lower physical layers to higher application layers. The same wireless sensor network sometimes needs to process information from different layers. Traditional protocols lack differentiated services and cannot make full use of network resources. In this paper, an Adaptive Retransmit Mechanism for Delay Differentiated Services (ARM-DDS) scheme is proposed to meet different levels of delays of applications. Firstly, we analyze the impact of different retransmit mechanisms and parameter optimization on delays and energy consumption. Based on the results of the analysis, in ARM-DDS scheme, for routes with transmission delay tolerance, energy-saving retransmission mechanisms are used, and low-latency retransmission mechanisms are used for latency-sensitive routes. In this way, the data routing delays of different applications are guaranteed within bound and the energy consumption of the network is reduced. What is more, ARM-DDS scheme makes full use of the residual energy of the network and uses a small delay routing retransmit mechanism in the far-sink area to reduce end-to-end delay. Both theoretical analysis and simulation experiments show that under the premise of the same reliability requirements, ARM-DDS scheme reduces data transmission delay 12.1% and improves network energy utilization 28%. Given that the reliability requirements of the data stream are different, the scheme can also extend the network lifetime.

In order to solve the problem of spectrum scarcity in wireless sensor networks, cognitive radio technology can be introduced into wireless sensor networks, giving rising to cognitive radio sensor networks. Delay-sensitive data applications in cognitive radio sensor networks require efficient real-time communication. Opportunistic pipeline routing is a potential technology to reduce the delay, which can use nodes outside the main forwarding path forward data opportunistically when the transmission fails. However, the energy efficiency of cognitive radio sensor networks with opportunistic pipeline routing is low, and the data transmission delay can be further optimized. In view of this situation, we propose the delay optimal opportunistic pipeline routing scheme named Variable Duty Cycle for Opportunistic Pipeline Routing (VDCOPR). In the Variable Duty Cycle for Opportunistic Pipeline Routing scheme, the nodes employ high duty cycle in the area far from the sink, and low duty cycle in the area near to the sink, which can achieve the balance of energy consumption and reduce the data transmission delay while not affecting network lifetime. The theoretical analysis and experimental results show that, compared with previous opportunistic pipeline routing, energy consumption of network is relatively balanced and the data transmission delay can be reduced by 36.6% in the Variable Duty Cycle for Opportunistic Pipeline Routing scheme.

In this paper, we present an energy and time constrained packet transmission MAC Protocol which we call ED-MAC for event-driven applications such as fire detection in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In this kind of WSNs, sensor nodes send a burst data when there is an event in the measuring field. These events are usually critical, so the measured burst data should be transmitted in limited time to their final destination node, sink node. Therefore, the packet transmission delay is considered to be a crucial requirement in event-driven applications. The ED-MAC protocol reduces the packet transmission delay and average node energy consumption in comparison to existing related MAC protocols.
