Abstract-Wireless sensor networks are typically designed for condition monitoring applications and to conserve energy but not for time-critical applications with strict real-time constraints that can be found in the industrial automation and avionics domain. In this paper, we propose a novel medium access control (MAC) protocol defined as wireless arbitration (WirArb) which grants each user channel access based on their different priority levels. The proposed MAC protocol supports multiple users and each user is pre-assigned a specific arbitration frequency which decides the order of channel access. With this mechanism, we can ensure that the user with the highest priority will immediately gain channel access and we can guarantee a deterministic behavior. To evaluate the proposed MAC, we use a discrete-time Markov chain model to mathematically formulate the WirArb protocol. Our results show that the proposed protocol provides high performance to ensure deterministic real-time communication and bandwidth efficiency.

“…The packet delivery performance in time and reliability domain used for classification of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) application in [8] is adopted in this paper to classify Smart Grid AMI traffic. Performance in time domain (delay sensitive) relates to the time taken for data to be received at the destination and reliability domain (loss sensitive) relates to how much data is received at the destination.…”

Abstract-Recent advances in ad hoc Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) has posited it as a strong candidate in Smart Grid's Neighbourhood Area Network (NAN) for Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). However, its abysmal capacity and poor multi-hoping performance in harsh dynamic environment will require an improvement to its protocol stacks in order for it to effectively support the variable requirements of application traffic in Smart Grid. This paper presents a classification of Smart Grid traffics and examines the performance of HWMP (which is the default routing protocol of the IEEE 802.11s standard) with the Optimised Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol in a NAN based ad hoc WMN. Results from simulations in ns-3 show that HWMP does not outperform OLSR. This indicates that cross layer modifications can be developed in OLSR protocol to address the routing challenges in a NAN based ad hoc WMN.

“…Secondly, a particular node requires a hard and fast rule for allocating the precise number of time slots. Moreover, introducing a new node to a WSN or removing an existing node from a WSN requires a fresh slot allocation for the whole network, which seriously affects data transmission efficiency [3]. In industry, these weaknesses of TDMAbased MAC protocols adversly affect the data transmission efficiency of WSNs.…”
