A MAC protocol specifies how nodes in a sensor network access a shared communication channel. Desired properties of a MAC
protocol are: it should be contention-free (avoid collisions); it should be distributed and self-stabilize to topological changes in the network; topological changes should be contained, namely, affect only the nodes in the vicinity of the change; it should not assume that nodes have a global time reference,
that is, nodes may not be time-synchronized. We give a set of TDMA-based MAC protocols for asynchronous wireless sensor networks satisfying all of these requirements. The communication complexity, number and size of messages,
for the protocols to stabilize is small, poly-logarithmic in the network size. |
