Title
Energy Consumption of Beacon Period Extension and Contraction in Distributed Medium Access Control
Abstract
Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) is a promising physical layer tech- nology which potentially enables low power and high rate de- vices with applications for Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs) and for Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). The UWB technology considered in this paper, called Multi- Band UWB, is based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Mul- tiplexing (OFDM). Any physical layer technology requires a Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol to be coupled with. This paper focuses on a distributed Time Division Multiple Ac- cess (TDMA) MAC protocol to support high data rate applica- tions, developed within the WiMedia Alliance (1). The aim of this paper is to study the dynamic beacon pe- riod extension and contraction when a newcomer device joins a existing beacon group (BG) and to evaluate the related energy consumption.
