摘要
Previous studies have shown that in many wireless sensor network applications the IEEE 802.15.4 carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA /CA) mechanism with default parameters cannot guarantee the constraints of reliability, time efficiency, or energy efficiency. Although many adaptive parameter tuning algorithms have been proposed, many of them cannot correctly identify the changes of the network condition and are unable to effectively perform the parameter tuning operation. Considering the randomness that CSMA /CA brings about, for most of the proposed algorithms, it is a challenge to distinguish significant violations that were caused by actual changes of the network from the general fluctuations that were due to CSMA/CA. In this paper, we propose a lightweight algorithm called the network equivalent adaptive parameter tuning (NEAPT) algorithm. It is fully distributed and can work without any predefined information or acknowledgement. NEAPT not only takes reliability as an evaluation of a network condition, but it proposes a synthetic value, called the equivalent node number, and takes it as another reference for a network condition. Simulation results show that by taking both reliability and the equivalent node number into consideration, NEAPT can effectively identify the network changes and provide adequate and steady performances for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in both stationary and dynamic conditions.
