Abstract

The IEEE 802.15.4e standard has four different superframe structures for different applications. Use of a low latency deterministic network (LLDN) superframe for the wireless sensor network is one of them, which can operate in a star topology. In this paper, a new channel access mechanism for IEEE 802.15.4e-based LLDN shared slots is proposed, and analytical models are designed based on this channel access mechanism. A prediction model is designed to estimate the possible number of retransmission slots based on the number of failed transmissions. Performance analysis in terms of data transmission reliability, delay, throughput and energy consumption are provided based on our proposed designs. Our designs are validated for simulation and analytical results, and it is observed that the simulation results well match with the analytical ones. Besides, our designs are compared with the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC mechanism, and it is shown that ours outperforms in terms of throughput, energy consumption, delay and reliability.

Highlights

  • The IEEE 802.15.4 [1] standard is popular for short-range and low-power wireless networks, which supports sixteen channels in 2.4-GHz and ten channels in 902-/928-MHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band

  • We propose a new carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) mechanism for the IEEE 802.5.4e low latency deterministic network (LLDN) superframe to reduce the number of clear channel assessment (CCA)

  • In order to improve the efficiency of the system, a prediction model is proposed to predict the optimal number of retransmission slots so that the possibility to retransmit a failed packet can be guaranteed

Summary

Introduction

The IEEE 802.15.4 [1] standard is popular for short-range and low-power wireless networks, which supports sixteen channels in 2.4-GHz and ten channels in 902-/928-MHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band. The random backoff and CCA in the CSMA/CA mechanism avoid the collisions and are only effective for the nodes that are not hidden They cannot minimize the number of collisions due to simultaneous transmissions, and these problems need to be addressed for better channel utilization. The originalities in our work are that a new prediction model is designed to predict the optimal numbers of retransmission slots based on the historical data of the previous transmissions and performance analysis of different network parameters of the LLDN superframe such as reliability, throughput, energy consumption and delay, which have not been studied yet. In order to reduce the power consumption of sensors, a new CSMA/CA mechanism is designed for the shared slots of the LLDN superframes.
