Energy Efficient Cross Layer STDMA Design in Solar-Powered Wireless Mesh Network

Article Preview

Abstract:

Energy efficiency is a major concern for mesh nodes with limited power supply. So STDMA(spatial time division multiple access) is applied to reduce node’s power consumption in mesh networks. However, the energy cost was still high for solar panel applying with STDMA, due to the fixed slots and numerous start times of nodes. A VF-STDMA(variable frame in STDMA) is proposed based on STDMA protocol. The VF-STDMA dynamically changes the frame size and assigns timeslots to each link according to the network data flows. The start times are reduced by recombining slots. Finally, the optimum routing is obtained through a cross-layer mechanism covering physical layer, MAC layer and network layer. The results show that the algorithms improve energy efficiency as well as decrease energy consumption of solar panel.
