A Channel Access Protocol for Multihop Wireless Networks with Multiple Channels
نویسنده
چکیده
The Group Allocation Multihop Multiple Access (GAMMA) protocol is presented; this protocol schedules data traffic over a multihop, multi-channel, wireless network. GAMMA provides excellent performance and remains stable under all network load levels by dividing the channel into cycles; each cycle is composed of a combination of contention and data slots. Every station in the network has a unique channel for receiving data. Each station maintains a set of stations called the “transmission group”, only members of this group are allowed to transmit data collision-free to the station maintaining the group.

Multi-channel Medium Access Control Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks: A Survey
Extensive researches on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been performed and many techniques have been developed for the data link (MAC) layer. Most of them assume single-channel MAC protocols. In the usual dense deployment of the sensor networks, single-channel MAC protocols may be deficient because of radio collisions and limited bandwidth. Hence, using multiple channels can significantly ...

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) which mediates the broadband Internet access, have been recently received many attentions by the researchers. In order to increase capacity in these networks, nodes are equipped with multiple radios tuned on multiple channels emerging multi radio multi-channel WMNs (MRMC WMNs). Therefore, a vital challenge that poses in MRMC WMNs is how to properly assign channels ...
متن کاملA multichannel CSMA MAC protocol with receiver-based channel selection for multihop wireless networks
In this paper, we propose a CSMA-based medium access control protocol for multihop wireless networks that uses multiple channels and a dynamic channel selection method. The proposed protocol uses one control channel and N data channels, where N is independent of the number of nodes in the network. The source uses an exchange of control packets on the control channel to decide on the best channe...
متن کاملA multichannel CSMA MAC protocol for multihop wireless networks
We describe a new carrier–sense multiple access (CSMA) protocol for multihop wireless networks, sometimes also called ad hoc networks. The CSMA protocol divides the available bandwidth into several channels and selects an idle channel randomly for packet transmission. It also employs a notion of “soft” channel reservation as it gives preference to the channel that was used for the last successf...
