Abstract:Interference is the most important issue in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) as it causes severe degradation during communication. Also, as sensor nodes are power constraint, hence the system is expected to operate for longer duration without any delay during communication. In order to overcome these issue a delay sensitive and interference aware MAC protocol for WSN is proposed. In this paper, first MAC protocol is proposed which divides network into layer and assign node to each layer to avoid data loss in the network. Once network is divided to the multi-layer, timeslot is assigned to each node. To utilize the channel efficiently, timeslot steal mechanism is implemented. To avoid interference, a hybrid prioritization scheme is implemented to prioritize the packet queue based on weight of the packet queue and based on the idle time of the prioritized packet.

The wireless sensor network is a good candidate to resolve this requirement, especially considering the inhospitable environment of a weapon flight test. In this paper, we propose a priority based multichannel MAC protocol with CSMA/CA over a single radio for a real-time monitoring of a weapon flight test. Multi-channel transmissions of nodes can improve the network performance in wireless sensor networks. Our proposed MAC protocol has two operation modes: Normal mode and Priority Mode. In the normal mode, the node exploits the normal CSMA/CA mechanism. In the priority mode, the node has one of three grades -Class A, B, and C. The node uses a different CSMA/CA mechanism according to its grade that is determined by a signal level. High grade nodes can exploit more channels and lower backoff exponents than low ones, which allow high grade nodes to obtain more transmission opportunities. In addition, it can guarantee successful transmission of important data generated by high grade nodes. Simulation results show that the proposed MAC exhibits excellent performance in an event-triggered realtime application.

“…Ramakrishnan and Ranjan [12] present a sensor multichannelMAC protocol for WSNs in a contention-based scheme that works with one control channel and eight data channels. MC-LMAC [13] is proposed for WSNs based on dedicated control channel but the goal is to maximize throughput using coordinated transmission over multiple frequency channels by scheduled access, where each sensor node is granted a timeslot and transmits without contention. Zhou et al [14] propose multifrequency MAC protocol for WSN viewed as one of the initial multi-channel MAC protocols designed for WSN.…”

Lately, wireless sensor network applications have emerged for provision of commercial services to end users. This results in commercial deployment of sensor networks which is as an important research area due to a number of design and quality of service challenges. An important technical challenge for sensor service provision to end users is managing dynamic network conditions such as unreliability of sensor nodes and network links which results in frequent service outages. This research is aimed at addressing this challenge. It presents a novel architecture which utilizes the availability of multiple sensor networks under different administrative domains, deployed in an area such that maximum network connectivity and high service availability are ensured. The architecture incorporates modifications and enhancements at the medium access control and the routing layers of sensor nodes for the collaborative operation of sensor networks. The design is based on IEEE 802.15.4 standard and ad hoc on demand distance vector routing protocol. The proposed architecture is mathematically analyzed with regards to overheads associated with the design such as routing and communication, and techniques to minimize these overheads are recommended. Through simulations using OMNET++, we show that the proposed architecture effectively provides connectivity for disconnected nodes achieving an overall increase in throughput for all the cooperating networks.
