The Coordinator

The energy efficiency is a main challenging issue for employing wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in extreme environments where the media access progress consumes the main part of network energy. The IEEE 802.15.4 is adopted in low complexity, ultra-low power and low data rate wireless sensor applications where the energy consumption of nodes should be managed carefully in harsh and inaccessible environments. The beacon-enabled mode of the IEEE 802.15.4 provides a power management scheme. When the network traffic is variable, this mode does not work as well and the coordinator is not capable for estimating the network traffic and adjusting proper duty cycle dynamically. In this chapter an approach for estimating network traffic in star topology is proposed to overcome this issue where the coordinator could estimate the network traffic and dynamically adjusts duty cycle proportion to the variation of network traffic. The simulation results demonstrate the superiority of proposed approach for improving the energy consumption, throughput and delay in comparison with the IEEE 802.15.4 under different traffic conditions.

Healthcare Monitoring

The aging population and the high expectations towards quality of life in our society lead to the need of more efficient and affordable medical systems and monitoring solutions. The development of wireless Body Sensor Networks (BSNs) offers a platform to establish such a healthcare monitoring systems. However, BSNs in the healthcare domain operate under conflicting requirements. These are the maintenance of the desired reliability and message latency of data transmissions (i.e. quality of service), while simultaneously maximizing battery lifetime of individual body sensors. In doing so, the characteristics of the entire system, especially the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer, have to be considered. For this reason, this chapter aims for the optimization of the MAC layer by using energy-saving techniques for BSNs. The fact that the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC does not fully satisfy BSNs requirements highlights the need for the design of new scalable MAC solutions, which guarantee low-power consumption to the maximum number of body sensors in high density areas (i.e., in saturation conditions). In order to emphasize IEEE 802.15.4 MAC limitations, this chapter presents a detailed overview of this de facto standard for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), which serves as a link for the introduction and description of the here proposed Distributed Queuing (DQ) MAC protocol for BSN scenarios. Within this framework, an extensive DQ MAC energy-consumption analysis in saturation conditions is presented to be able to evaluate its performance in relation to IEEE 802.5.4 MAC in highly dense BSNs. The obtained results show that the proposed scheme outperforms IEEE 802.15.4 MAC in average energy consumption per information bit, thus providing a better overall performance that scales appropriately to BSNs under high traffic conditions. These benefits are obtained by eliminating back-off periods and collisions in data packet transmissions, while minimizing the control overhead.

: To enhance the reliability of the link and guarantee deterministic channel access, IEEE 802.15 TG4e has introduced DSME as an amendment to IEEE 802.15.4. In this article, we analyze the throughput and energy consumption of DSME mechanism. Further, we propose optimization framework to find contention window (CW) that can enhance the aggregate utility and minimize the energy consumption of a device. Results prove that the performance of DSME is improved by 80% using the optimal setting of CW. The results are finally validated using ns-3.

This paper proposes an improved Traffic Class Prioritization based Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance (TCP-CSMA/CA) scheme for prioritized channel access to heterogenous-natured Bio-Medical Sensor Nodes (BMSNs) for IEEE 802.15.4 Medium Access Control (MAC) in intra-Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). The main advantage of the scheme is to provide prioritized channel access to heterogeneous-natured BMSNs of different traffic classes with reduced packet delivery delay, packet loss, and energy consumption, and improved throughput and packet delivery ratio (PDR). The prioritized channel access is achieved by assigning a distinct, minimized and prioritized backoff period range to each traffic class in every backoff during contention. In TCP-CSMA/CA, the BMSNs are distributed among four traffic classes based on the existing patient’s data classification. The Backoff Exponent (BE) starts from 1 to remove the repetition of the backoff period range in the third, fourth, and fifth backoffs. Five moderately designed backoff period ranges are proposed to assign a distinct, minimized, and prioritized backoff period range to each traffic class in every backoff during contention. A comprehensive verification using NS-2 was carried out to determine the performance of the TCP-CSMA/CA in terms of packet delivery delay, throughput, PDR, packet loss ratio (PLR) and energy consumption. The results prove that the proposed TCP-CSMA/CA scheme performs better than the IEEE 802.15.4 based PLA-MAC, eMC-MAC, and PG-MAC as it achieves a 47% decrease in the packet delivery delay and a 63% increase in the PDR.
