Abstract

Multi-channel MAC protocols in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks allow a number of nodes in the same neighborhood to transmit in parallel on distinct channels without interfering with one another. The parallelism increases the throughput and can potentially reduce the delay. Free collision during the data transmission avoids the energy for packet retransmissions. Firstly, we described five important challenges for multi-channel MAC protocols. Secondly, we classified multi-channel MAC protocols in wireless ad hoc networks into four generalized categories and analyzed them respectively. Then, we showed the new challenges of multi-channel MAC protocols in wireless sensor networks and described several existing multi-channel MAC protocols. Finally, we pointed out the open research issues with regard to multi-channel MAC protocols in wireless networks.

Analysis and enhancement of multi-channel MAC protocol for ad hoc networks

In this paper, an analytical model is proposed to calculate the network throughput of dedicated control channel protocols that are designed to schedule multiple packets to be transmitted on different data channels simultaneously. Based on the analytical ...
A hybrid multi-channel MAC protocol for wireless ad hoc networks

In a regular wireless ad hoc network, the Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol coordinates channel access among nodes, and the throughput of the network is limited by the bandwidth of a single channel. The multi-channel MAC protocols can exploit ...
A self adjustable multi-channel MAC protocol for ad hoc wireless network
WiCOM'09: Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Wireless communications, networking and mobile computing

In this paper, we propose a new multi-channel MAC protocol for MHs that are equipped with single transceiver or multi-transceivers in Ad Hoc wireless networkl. The proposed protocol modified the RTS/CTS frames for multi-channel usage, and divides the ...
