Energy-efficient collision-free medium access control for wireless sensor networks
Open accessAbstract
The traffic-adaptive medium access protocol (TRAMA) is introduced for energy-efficient collision-free channel access in wireless sensor networks. TRAMA reduces energy consumption by ensuring that unicast, multicast, and broadcast transmissions have no collisions, and by allowing nodes to switch to a low-power, idle state whenever they are not transmitting or receiving. TRAMA assumes that time is slotted and uses a distributed election scheme based on information about the traffic at each node to determine which node can transmit at a particular time slot. TRAMA avoids the assignment of time slots to nodes with no traffic to send, and also allows nodes to determine when they can become idle and not listen to the channel using traffic information. TRAMA is shown to be fair and correct, in that no idle node is an intended receiver and no receiver suffers collisions. The performance of TRAMA is evaluated through extensive simulations using both synthetic- as well as sensor-network scenarios. The results indicate that TRAMA outperforms contention-based protocols (e.g., CSMA, 802.11 and S-MAC) as well as scheduling-based protocols (e.g., NAMA) with significant energy savings.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
