“…This means, in our scheme, the packet needs to grow an additional 14.4 kB before computation cost is on par with the cost of transmitting MAC addresses. To put this in perspective, given the payload size of 16 bytes [1][2], using our approach means a 900 times increase in payload size.…”

“…Moreover, when we consider mobility or adapting to changes in neighbors, the exchange of control messages becomes very costly. We like to point out that at low node density, the setup cost incurred by [2] and [1] is minimal. However, as network density increases, the setup cost becomes expensive, as illustrated in Figs.…”

“…The authors of [1][2] are the first to document the significant header overhead due to MAC addresses. For example, the payload of a data packet may be only a few bytes in length, but the source and destination MAC addresses take up six bytes each on the Berkeley Motes [3].…”

“…Based on this observation, the authors of [1] propose a protocol that coordinates the reuse of MAC addresses. Then, in [2] the same authors propose a protocol that assigns frequently used links with a short label.…”

“…From these control messages, a node is able to learn assigned identifiers in its two hops range, which a node then uses to select a free identifier at random [1] or negotiate one with its neighbors [2]. To reduce the identifier's size, [1] and [2] bias the identifier selection process and apply the Huffman algorithm. The resulting variable codewords are then used as identifiers.…”

In sensor networks, the size of the medium access control (MAC) address is prohibitively expensive when one considers the small payload and the cost of transmitting one bit. We address this problem by proposing a technique that encodes L-bits of the payload with a key derived from MAC addresses. We show how the decoding process removes the need for MAC addresses in packets.

Dynamic address assignment enables nodes in mobile ad hoc networks to obtain a routable address without the need for any explicit configuration. It provides a means for nodes to communicate without any centralized infrastructure and provides a mechanism for dynamic network membership. Recently, a considerable number of dynamic addressing protocols have been proposed. While these approaches bear some similarities to each other, they also differ in some important characteristics. To understand the benefits of these different approaches, it is necessary to test the protocols in a wide range of network conditions so that their performance and suitability can be predicted. This paper studies existing solutions by categorizing and qualitatively analyzing the scalability and other performance properties of the approaches. We also introduce a new addressing approach that provides both quick and efficient unique address assignment. We then compare selected protocols through quantitative analysis based on extensive simulations. Based on the simulation results, we point out the applicability of the protocols and offer suggestions to improve protocol performance.

The battery driven nature of wireless sensor networks, combined with the need for operational lifetimes of months to years, mandates that energy efficiency be treated as a metric of utmost priority while designing these distributed sensing systems. This chapter presents an overview of energy-centric sensor node design techniques that enable designers to significantly extend system and network lifetime. Such extensions to battery life can only be obtained by eliminating energy inefficiencies from all aspects of the sensor node, ranging from the hardware platform to the operating system, network protocols, and application software.
