Priority based slot allocation for media access in Wireless Sensor Networks

Media Access Control in Wireless Sensor Networks using Priority Index

“…In controlling access to shared medium, the number of requests from nodes also plays an important role in deciding the slot allocation. In this regard, one of the ways to resolve contention is to describe these request events by the Poisson probability distribution function and compute request probability [11]. Researchers in [12] have proposed a hybrid MAC protocol that tackles emergency response requirements.…”

“…The work proposed in this paper is an extension of our previous work, PSAWSN [11] to handle dynamic slot allocation (along with static) with detailed functioning of the scheme, examples and simulation based performance analysis. In this paper our contributions are: 1) Defining and demonstrating the listed parameters (ML, NE, NR, and MU).…”
