“…However, in real-world ad hoc network systems, it is assumed that the network topology or wireless link quality varies frequently due to node mobility, channel fading, and interference. Therefore, in order to adapt to such situations, it is essential to exchange some control frames among network nodes [18,19]. In this sense, RTS/CTS-based FD MAC design is an important task, especially for ad hoc networks.…”

Medium access control (MAC) protocol operations for in-band full duplex multi-hop networks play an important role in efficient data relaying and throughput enhancement. Knowledge of the relationship between essential operations in MAC protocol for full duplex MAC (FD MAC) networks and network performance is important and useful in terms of the protocol and network design. FD MAC protocols often require exchanging control frames, e.g., request to send/clear to send (RTS/CTS). However, the conventional model cannot analyze the performance of wireless multi-hop networks with RTS/CTS-based FD MAC. Thus, this paper proposes a throughput analysis model for wireless multi-hop networks with RTS/CTS-based FD MAC. The proposed model includes novel “airtime expressions”, which allows us to handle RTS/CTS operations under FD MAC. The proposed model provides the end-to-end throughput of multi-hop networks with RTS/CTS-based FD MAC for any number of hops and any payload size. The validity of the analytical expressions is confirmed through comparisons with simulation results.

“…In this section, we will present a brief summary of the main characteristics of existing rate adaptation algorithms (RAA). RAAs can be classified into various categories according to the metrics that they use to evaluate the channel or link quality such as frame loss and SNR in [9], or consecutive transmission count, frame loss ratio, transmission time, throughput, SNR, bit error rate, and combined metrics in [10]. We chose to classify RAAs into three categories: (i) Explicit Feedback, in which RAAs base their bit rate adaptation on the receiver feedback, (ii) Implicit Feedback, in which RAAs base their adaptation on the information available on the sender side, and (iii) Hybrid, which is a category that combines information from feedback of the receiver and information available to the sender.…”

Wireless technologies are being used in various applications for their ease of deployment and inherent capabilities to support mobility. Most wireless standards supports multiple data rates that may vary between few Mbps to few Gbps. Reaching the maximum supported data rate is what most application seek for. Nevertheless, the choice of data rates is very closely related to the quality of communication links and their stability. IEEE 802.11 standard introduced multi-rate support, since then, a lot of research has been done on rate adaptation, dealing with the different parameters that lead to an estimation of the channel conditions and the metrics that affect the network performance. In this paper, we present some of the popular rate adaptation schemes and summarize their characteristics. We categorize them as well into different categories according to their design and functionalities in terms of the strategies that are used to estimate channel conditions and decision making. We implemented some algorithms from the different categories in the network simulator NS-3 in order to evaluate their performance under different scenarios in Ad hoc and infrastructure modes. We present the lessons learned as well as our insights for future research work that can enhance the current approaches in the literature.

“…However, the cost of a faster data rate is transmission quality reduction. The appropriate data rate is selected based on the relative relationship between the frame delivery ratio (FDR) and the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) [ 25 , 26 , 27 ]. Sodhro, A.H. et al, [ 28 ] proposed an energy-efficient transmission power control (ETPC) algorithm that was based on a wireless channel estimation.…”

Most Internet of Things (IoT) systems are based on the wireless sensor network (WSN) due to the reduction of the cable layout cost. However, the battery life of nodes is a key issue when the node is powered by a battery. A Low-Power WSN Protocol with ADR and TP Hybrid Control is proposed in this paper to improve battery life significantly. Besides, techniques including the Sub-1GHz star topology network with Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), adaptive data rate (ADR), and transmission power control (TPC) are also used. The long-term testing results show that the nodes with the proposed algorithm can balance the communication quality and low power consumption simultaneously. The experimental results also show that the power consumption of the node with the algorithm was reduced by 38.46-54.44% compared with the control group. If using AAA battery with 1200 mAh, the node could run approximately 4.2 years with the proposed hybrid control algorithm with an acquisition period of under 5 s.
