Abstract

Wireless sensor networks are a rising commodity that demonstrate merit in the research domain due to their versatile nature. While powerful and feature-laden, these systems also require careful configuration for optimal packet transmission. This experiment aims to examine these configurations. By varying clear channel assessment threshold (CCAT) values, it will be demonstrated through implementation that changing the thresholds influences overall efficiency. Conversely, it will be shown that mis-configuring a single node will only impact the network under certain conditions. This work may be parlayed into more elaborate energy conservation and transmission efficacy schemes.

Clear channel assessment in energyconstrained wideband wireless networks

This is intended as a tutorial review of the clear channel assessment (CCA) component of typical data link layers in wideband wireless networks that employ some form of channel sensing as part of their medium access mechanism. While channel sensing - ...
Short Clear Channel Assessment in Slotted IEEE 802.15.4 Networks

One of the major concerns in wireless sensor networks is energy saving due to lack of power sources. IEEE 802.15.4 provides CSMA/CA to reduce the possibility of a collision by checking whether the medium is in use. This checking operation is CCA (Clear ...
