An Improved Backoff Scheme for the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC Protocol

Article Preview

Abstract:

To solve the impact on network performance by the mobile nodes and data transfer rate constantly changing,this paper proposes a improved backoff scheme for IEEE802.15.4, which uses Probability Judgement based on Network Load and Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (PJNL_EWMA). According to a real-time monitoring of current network status by probability judgement of network load , this method dynamically adjust backoff exponent by EWMA when the CSMA/CA begins. Compared the IEEE802.15.4 and MBS+EWMA schemes, the simulation experiments on NS2 platform show that the PJNL_EWMA scheme not only improves the throughput of the network, but also reduces the packet loss rate and the collision ratio,significantly improve the network performance.
