An Adaptive Energy-Efficient MAC Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

by Tijs van Dam, Koen Langendoen - SENSYS'03 , 2003
"... In this paper we describe T-MAC, a contention-based Medium Access Control protocol for wireless sensor networks. Applications for these networks have some characteristics (low message rate, insensitivity to latency) that can be exploited to reduce energy consumption by introducing an active/sleep du ..."

A Rate-Adaptive MAC Protocol for Multi-Hop Wireless Networks

by Gavin Holland, Nitin H. Vaidya, Paramvir Bahl , 2001
"... Wireless local area networks (W-LANs) have become increasingly popular due to the recent availability of affordable devices that are capable of communicating at high data rates. These high rates are possible, in part, through new modulation schemes that are optimized for the channel conditions bring ..."

relatively few proposals for W-LANs. In this paper we present a rate adaptive MAC protocol called the Receiver-Based AutoRate (RBAR) protocol. The novelty of RBAR is that its rate adaptation mechanism is in the receiver instead of in the sender. This is in contrast to existing schemes in devices like

Reliable Multicast Transport Protocol (RMTP)

by Sanjoy Paul, Krishan K. Sabnani, John C. Lin, Supratik Bhattacharyya
"... This paper presents the design, implementation and performance of a reliable multicast transport protocol called RMTP. RMTP is based on a hierarchical structure in which receivers are grouped into local regions or domains and in each domain there is a special receiver called a Designated Receiver (D ..."

Performance comparison of two on-demand routing protocols for ad hoc networks

by Samir R. Das, Charles E. Perkins , Elizabeth M. Royer , 2000
"... Ad hoc networks are characterized by multihop wireless connectivity, frequently changing network topology and the need for efficient dynamic routing protocols. We compare the performance of two prominent ondemand routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks — Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Ad Ho ..."

Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV). A detailed simulation model with MAC and physical layer models is used to study interlayer interactions and their performance implications. We demonstrate that even though DSR and AODV share a similar on-demand behavior, the differences in the protocol

by Miklos Maroti, Branislav Kusy, Gyula Simon, Akos Ledeczi , 2004
"... Wireless sensor network applications, similarly to other distributed systems, often require a scalable time synchronization service enabling data consistency and coordination.

A Performance Comparison of Multi-Hop Wireless Ad Hoc Network Routing Protocols

by Josh Broch, David A. Maltz, David B. Johnson, Yih-chun Hu, Jorjeta Jetcheva , 1998
"... An ad hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile nodes dynamically forming a temporary network without the use of any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration. Due to the limited transmission range of wireless network interfaces, multiple network "hops " ma ..."

This paper presents the results of a detailed packet-level simulation comparing four multi-hop wireless ad hoc network routing protocols that cover a range of design choices: DSDV, TORA, DSR, and AODV. We have extended the ns-2 network simulator to accurately model the MAC and physical

Power-Aware Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

by Mike Woo, Suresh Singh, C. S. Raghavendra , 1998
"... In this paper we present a case for using new power-aware metrics for determining routes in wireless ad hoc networks. We present five different metrics based on battery power consumption at nodes. We show that using these metrics in a shortest-cost routing algorithm reduces the cost/packet of rout ..."

Furthermore, using these new metrics ensures that the mean time to node failure is increased significantly. An interesting
