Improving Packet Analysis in Wireless Sensor Network using Bit Rate Classifier
Remote sensor system (WSN) has risen as a promising innovation. Despite the fact that WSN is a promising innovation, there is still a lot of extra research required before it ?nally turns into a developed innovation. An extensive variety of WSN applications have been proposed, for example, living space checking, natural perceptions and estimating frameworks, wellbeing observing, and so on. In these applications, numerous low power and cheap sensor hubs are sent in an unlimited space to coordinate as a system. This paper assesses the impact of utilization of bit rate investigation on bundle approaching to the switch in the remote sensor system. The fundamental point is to accomplish an effective remote sensor system which ought to be not any more defenseless to parcel misfortune. Alternate parameters are deferral, throughput, bundle conveyance proportion, jitter and vitality. The calculation minimizes the postponement that may happen because of high activity rate by utilizing bit rate classifier in this way enhancing the throughput and different parameters
Analytical Model of Adaptive CSMA-CA MAC for Reliable and Timely Clustered Wireless Multi-Hop Communication
Reliability and delay of a single cluster wireless network is well analysed in the literature. Multi-hop communication over the number of clusters is essential to scale the network. Analytical model for reliability and end-to-end delay optimization for multi-hop clustered network is presented in this paper. Proposed model is a three dimensional markov chain. Three dimensions of markov model are the adaptable mac parameters of CSMA-CA. Model assumes wakeup rates for each cluster. Results show that reliability and delay are significantly improved than previous analytical models proposed. It has been observed that overall reliability of multi-hop link is improved, with reduction in end-to-end delay is reduced even at lower wakeup rates of a cluste
Topology Construction in RPL Networks over Beacon-Enabled 802.15.4
In this paper, we propose a new scheme that allows coupling beacon-enabled
IEEE 802.15.4 with the RPL routing protocol while keeping full compliance with
both standards. We provide a means for RPL to pass the routing information to
Layer 2 before the 802.15.4 topology is created by encapsulating RPL DIO
messages in beacon frames. The scheme takes advantage of 802.15.4 command
frames to solicit RPL DIO messages. The effect of the command frames is to
reset the Trickle timer that governs sending DIO messages. We provide a
detailed analysis of the overhead incurred by the proposed scheme to understand
topology construction costs. We have evaluated the scheme using Contiki and the
instruction-level Cooja simulator and compared our results against the most
common scheme used for dissemination of the upper-layer information in
beacon-enabled PANs. The results show energy savings during the topology
construction phase and in the steady state
Packet Arrival Analysis in Wireless Sensor Networks
Distributed sensor networks have been discussed for more than 30 years, but the vision of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has been brought into reality only by the rapid advancements in the areas of sensor design, information technologies, and wireless networks that have paved the way for the proliferation of WSNs. The unique characteristics of sensor networks introduce new challenges, amongst which prolonging the sensor lifetime is the most important. WSNs have seen a tremendous growth in various application areas including health care, environmental monitoring, security, and military purposes despite prominent performance and availability challenges. Clustering plays an important role in enhancement of the life span and scalability of the network, in such applications. Although researchers continue to address these grand challenges, the type of distributions for arrivals at the cluster head and intermediary routing nodes is still an interesting area of investigation. Modelling the behaviour of the networks becomes essential for estimating the performance metrics and further lead to decisions for improving the network performance, hence highlighting the importance of identifying the type of inter-arrival distributions at the cluster head. In this paper, we present extensive discussions on the assumptions of exponential distributions in WSNs, and present numerical results based on Q-Q plots for estimating the arrival distributions. The work is further extended to understand the impact of end-to-end delay and its effect on inter-arrival time distributions, based on the type of medium access control used in WSNs. Future work is also presented on the grounds that such comparisons based on simple eye checks are insufficient. Since in many cases such plots may lead to incorrect conclusions, demanding the necessity for validating the types of distributions. Statistical analysis is necessary to estimate and validate the empirical distributions of the arrivals in WSNs
Analytical model of IEEE 802.15.4 non-beacon mode with download traffic by the piggyback method
Abstract. We analyze the MAC performance of the IEEE 802.15.4 LR-WPAN non-beacon mode with the piggyback method in non-saturated condition. Our approach is to model a stochastic behavior of one device as a discrete time Markov chain. We propose an analytical model describing the download behavior of a device using piggyback method. We obtain the performance measures such as throughput, packet delay, energy consumption and packet loss probability of a device. Numerical results and simulation results show that the piggyback method which removes a backoff procedure in the backoff method can reduce the delay, loss probability and energy consumption compared with backoff method. Our results can be used to find the optimal number of devices with some constraints on packet delay and packet loss probability
Energy-Efficiency Analysis of a Distributed Queuing Medium Access Control Protocol for Biomedical Wireless Sensor Networks in Saturation Conditions
The aging population and the high quality of life expectations in our society lead to the need of more efficient and affordable healthcare solutions. For this reason, this paper aims for the optimization of Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols for biomedical wireless sensor networks or wireless Body Sensor Networks (BSNs). The hereby presented schemes always have in mind the efficient management of channel resources and the overall minimization of sensors’ energy consumption in order to prolong sensors’ battery life. The fact that the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC does not fully satisfy BSN 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 article presents a detailed overview of this de facto standard for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), which serves as a link for the introduction and initial description of our 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
An Analytical Model for Wireless Mesh Networks with Collision-Free TDMA and Finite Queues
Wireless mesh networks are a promising technology for connecting sensors and
actuators with high flexibility and low investment costs. In industrial
applications, however, reliability is essential. Therefore, two time-slotted
medium access methods, DSME and TSCH, were added to the IEEE 802.15.4 standard.
They allow collision-free communication in multi-hop networks and provide
channel hopping for mitigating external interferences. The slot schedule used
in these networks is of high importance for the network performance. This paper
supports the development of efficient schedules by providing an analytical
model for the assessment of such schedules, focused on TSCH. A Markov chain
model for the finite queue on every node is introduced that takes the slot
distribution into account. The models of all nodes are interconnected to
calculate network metrics such as packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay and
throughput. An evaluation compares the model with a simulation of the Orchestra
schedule. The model is applied to Orchestra as well as to two simple
distributed scheduling algorithms to demonstrate the importance of
traffic-awareness for achieving high throughput.Comment: 17 pages, 14 figure
