Priority-Based Medium Access Control Protocol for Providing QoS in Wireless Sensor Networks Kwang-Jin PAEK Jongwan KIM Ui-Sung SONG Chong-Sun HWANG Publication IEICE TRANSACTIONS on Information and Systems Vol.E90-D No.9 pp.1448-1451 Publication Date: 2007/09/01 Online ISSN: 1745-1361 DOI: 10.1093/ietisy/e90-d.9.1448 Print ISSN: 0916-8532 Type of Manuscript: LETTER Category: Networks Keyword: MAC, CSMA, TDMA, QoS, priority-based, wireless sensor networks, Full Text: PDF(203.2KB)>>
Summary: In this letter, we propose PQ-MAC: a priority-based medium access control (MAC) protocol for providing quality of service (QoS) in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) which minimizes the energy consumption with traffic-based sleep-wakeup scheduling and supports QoS using differentiating channel access policy, packet scheduling, and queue management. The PQ-MAC utilizes the advantages of time division multiple access (TDMA) and slotted carrier-sense multiple access (CSMA). The proposed protocol is an energy-efficient, priority-based, and QoS compatible MAC protocol. It consists of multi-level queue management, sleep-wakeup scheduling, and an ordered contention period (CP) scheme. It also guarantees time-bounded delivery of QoS packets. Performance evaluation is conducted between PQ-MAC and S-MAC with respect to three performance metrics: energy consumption, throughput, and average latency. The simulation results show that the performance of PQ-MAC is better than that of S-MAC. | ||||||||||
