A Cross Layer Protocol based on IEEE 802.15.4 for Improving Energy Efficiency

Energy Efficiency Cross Layer Protocol for Wireless Mesh Network

Wireless mesh network (WMN) is a novel emerging technology that will change the world more effectively and efficiently. It is regarded as a highly promising technology being increasingly important in mobile wireless networks of the future generation. In this paper, we consider energy management for wireless mesh networks from a point of view that started recently to attract the attention means ...

An Energy Optimization Protocol Based on Cross-Layer for Wireless Sensor Networks

Survivability is one of the critical issues and the most important research topics in the fields of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Energy efficiency is one of the determining factors for survivability and lifetime of WSNs. In the WSNs, severe energy issue necessitates energyefficient approach to fulfill application objectives. In this paper, we propose an Energy Optimization Approach based on...

Multipath Routing Protocol using Cross-layer based QoS Metrics for IEEE 802. 11e WLAN

To achieve Quality of Service (QoS) support for multimedia traffic, IEEE 802. 11e specifies Hybrid Coordination Function (HCF) Controlled Channel Access (HCCA) technique. When it is applied in multi-hop networks, the performance results, however, reveal that there is significant degradation of throughput with high delay at high load conditions. This is due to the fact that routing is responsibl...
