    International audienceIn wireless sensor networks, energy efficiency is achieved by making nodes sleep. In this paper, we propose SERENA, a node activity scheduling algorithm based on three-hop coloring. We study the performance of SERENA by simulating the conditions of a realistic environment including unidirectional links. The existence of unidirectional links causes color conflicts, which can be solved by exploiting a collaboration with the MAC layer. Such cross layering approach takes into account the real wireless environment and so enables substantial performance improvements (e.g. better reactivity to topology changes). Finally, we evaluate the benefits brought by this solution, namely the increase of network lifetime and spatial reuse

    The use of multi-channel significantly improves the overall network performance of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) by allowing parallel transmissions over multiple channels. However, the design of a multi-channel MAC protocol in a multi-hop network requires an efficient channel allocation method that allows the coordination between the nodes in order to share available channels. In this thesis, we focus on the conception of a multi-channel MAC protocol that meets the requirements of high data collection applications in a multi-hop network. In order to achieve this goal, we first present the main techniques to use multiple channels to realize medium access sharing. Then, we propose a multi-channel MAC protocol that meets the requirements of high data rate WSNs, which combines three techniques TDMA, FDMA and CSMA. Indeed, we use a new channel assignment method that enables nodes to choose the most convenient channel in their 3-hop neighborhood in a distributed manner in order to minimize the effects of interferences and collisions. Finally, we evaluate by simulation the performance of our protocol and we compare it to other protocols proposed in the literature. The results show the efficiency of our proposition in the different studied scenarios.L'utilisation des canaux multiples amĂ©liore significativement les performances globales des rĂ©seaux de capteurs sans fil (RCSF) en permettant des transmissions parallĂšles sur plusieurs canaux. Cependant, la mise en place d’un protocole MAC multi-canal dans un rĂ©seau multisauts nĂ©cessite une mĂ©thode efficace d’allocation des canaux pour permettre une coordination entre les nƓuds afin de partager les canaux disponibles. Dans cette thĂšse, nous nous intĂ©ressons Ă  la conception d’un protocole MAC multi-canal qui rĂ©pond aux exigences des applications de collecte de donnĂ©es Ă  haut dĂ©bit dans un rĂ©seau multi-saut. Pour ce faire, nous abordons d’abord les principales façons d’utiliser plusieurs canaux pour rĂ©aliser le partage du mĂ©dium. Ensuite, nous proposons un protocole MAC multi-canal, rĂ©pondant aux exigences des RCSF Ă  haut dĂ©bit, qui combine les trois techniques TDMA, CSMA et FDMA. En effet, nous utilisons une nouvelle mĂ©thode d’allocation des canaux qui permet aux nƓuds de choisir le canal de rĂ©ception le plus convenable dans leurs voisinages jusqu’à 3-sauts d’une façon distribuĂ©e afin de minimiser les effets des interfĂ©rences et des collisions. Enfin, nous Ă©valuons par simulation les performances de notre protocole et nous le comparons Ă  d’autres protocoles proposĂ©s dans la littĂ©rature. Les rĂ©sultats obtenus montrent l’efficacitĂ© de notre proposition dans les diffĂ©rents scĂ©narios Ă©tudiĂ©s
