Energy-efficient MAC protocol for wireless LANs with WiFi sensors

More and more mobile computing devices such as smartphones with limited battery power are being used in IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs, and WiFi sensors with very limited battery power are expected to get Internet access through wireless LANs in the near future. We propose an efficient MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol so that WiFi sensors and mobile devices are connected to APs (Access Points) in IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs in an energy-efficient manner.

A Novel Approach to Find Optimal Path by using Firefly Routing Algorithm in WSN

Wireless Sensor Networks are appropriate for many applications such as agriculture, smart phones, automation and disaster reduction. In general, medium access control protocol (MAC) plays a vital role in WSN by informing the network when and how to access a medium and as a result it reduces the energy consumption. In wireless sensor networks in the star topology consistent 802.15.4k standard in which sensors could neglect to report detecting data to the get to point because of impermanent checks that disorder the connection with the access point. In this paper we discuss the connectivity and information loss of wireless environments. We categorize the work First; we study general connectivity requirements in relay networks. Second, to avoid information loss and to restore the proper connectivity. It can be performed by firefly algorithm with localizability aided localization protocol (F-LSL). It depends on the device of stochastic geometry and specifically, on Poisson direct procedures toward look for the tradeoff, which emerges from the determination of a subset of transfer hubs and the vital transmitted power that transfers need to use to reestablish arrange network.

Energy Efficient Beacon-Enabled IEEE 802.15.4 Guaranteed Time Slot-Based Adaptive Duty Cycle Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Network

In this work, energy-efficient adaptive duty cycle guaranteed time slot algorithm is proposed for beacon-enabled standard medium access control protocol to efficiently handle low, medium and high data traffic loads. The proposed protocol can efficiently handle high traffic load by effective utilization of slots. The protocol can dynamically update the number of slots for contention access period and contention free period in each beacon interval. Therefore, it can capably handle high network load condition. The protocol continuously monitors the utilization capacity of each of the sensor node and allots the contention free period slots to the needy nodes based on their utilization capacity. Simulation analysis is done for three different scenarios. The performance of the proposed protocol is compared with the other existing protocols. Simulation results show the overall superiority of our proposed algorithm in terms of packet delivery and energy consumption.

Parameter analysis and optimization of polling-based medium access control protocol for multi-sensor communication

In this article, a comprehensive parameter analysis for the polling-based medium access control protocol is executed. The theoretical expressions of the relationship between network parameters and performance including delay and energy consumption are given for the first time. The specific conclusions in this article are as follows: (1) awake duration is the parameter that has the greatest impact on delay and energy consumption. Increasing the duty cycle (awake duration) will effectively reduce the delay, but will also increase the energy consumption within a certain range; (2) increasing polling duration can reduce the delay, but it will also increase the energy consumption; and (3) more forwarding nodes cause a smaller delay, and it can save the energy with modest increase of delay by reducing the polling duration. An adaptive parameter optimization polling-based medium access control protocol is proposed to optimize network performance. In this protocol, the residual energy gets fully used to increase awake duration and polling duration, which makes the delay smaller, and the network maintains a long lifetime meanwhile. Based on the results of the analysis, the adaptive parameter optimization polling-based medium access control protocol proposed in this article reduces the delay by 22.40% and increases the energy efficiency by 23.25%.
