초록

본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크에서 지연시간에 민감한 데이터를 빠르게 전송하기 위하여 채널 상태를 고려하여 경로를 선택하는 라우팅 기법을 제안하였다. 실시간 전송을 위한 기존의 방식들은 단순히 전파 지연시간이 짧은 경로 혹은 홉 수가 적은 경로를 선택한다. 또한, 무선 매체의 특성에 따라 링크 에러율을 기반으로 하여 실시간 전송 경로를 선정하는 알고리즘도 제안되었다. 하지만, 링크 에러율이 영향을 미치는 전파 지연시간과 재전송 타임아웃 시간은 채널을 검사하고 백오프하는 시간 보다 짧다. 따라서, 본 논문에서 제안하는 기법은 채널 백오프 비율을 기반으로 하여 채널 사용과 패킷 송신에 소요되는 시간을 추정하였다. 소스 노드는 가장 짧은 지연시간을 가진 경로를 실시간 트래픽을 위한 전송 경로로 선택하였다. 링크 에러율과 채널 백오프 비율에 따른 실험을 통하여 제안 방식이 종단 간의 데이터 전달 속도를 향상시킨다는 사실을 확인하였다.

We have presented a routing mechanism that selects a route by considering channel statuses in order to fast transfer delay-sensitive data in WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks). The existing methods for real-time data transfer select a path whose latency is the shortest or the number of hops is the smallest. An algorithm to select a real-time transfer path based on link error rates according to the characteristic of wireless medium was also suggested. However, the propagation delay and retransmission timeout affected by link error rates are shorter than channel assessment time and backoff time. Therefore, the mechanism proposed in this paper estimated the time spent in using a clear channel and sending out a packet, which is based on channel backoff rates. A source node comes to select a route with the shortest end-to-end delay as a fast transfer path for real-time traffic, and sends data along the path chosen. We found that this proposed mechanism improves the speed of event-to-sink data transfer by performing experiments under different link error and channel backoff rates.
