Abstract

Data collected by sensors in field are transmitted to the base station gathering all of data. Because sensors have to gather data in surroundings and periodically transmit data to the base station, it makes energy consumed much. In this paper, we mose the scheme that is to avoid traffic congestion with achievement of energy efficiency, so collected data is transmitted efficiently. This is to adjust transmission rate differently in case of increasing or decreasing traffic and minimize the energy consumption with setting ideal options up basic CSMA(Carrier Sense Multiple Access) protocol in each sensor. Through the simulation, we find the ideal CSMA options and apply the proposed scheme of traffic control mechanism to them and analyze them, then show energy efficiency and effective traffic control mechanism.

센서를 통해 수집된 데이터는 모든 정보를 취합하는 기지국으로 전송되게 된다. 센서들은 데이터를 전송하면서 지속적으로 주변 환경에 대한 데이터를 수집하여야 하기 때문에 에너지 소모가 크다. 본 논문에서는 수집된 데이터가 효율적으로 전송되어 트래픽 혼잡을 피하면서 에너지 효율성을 고려하는 기법을 제안한다. 트래픽이 증가하거나 감소할 때 전송률을 제어함으로써 Traffic 혼잡을 피하고, 기본적인 CSMA(Carrier Sense Multiple Access) 프로토콜에 최적의 옵션을 설정하여 각 센서에서 에너지 소모를 최소화는 기법이다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 최적의 CSMA 옵션과 제안된 트래픽 제어 기법을 적용하여 성능을 분석하고, 에너지 효율성과 효과적인 트래픽 제어 방법을 제시한다.
