Abstract

네트워크 수명을 연장시키기 위해 무선 센서 네트워크에서는 idle listening에 소비되는 에너지를 줄일 수 있는 듀티-사이클 MAC 프로토콜들이 제안되었다. 일반적인 듀티-사이클 MAC 프로토콜에서 각 센서 노드는 잔여 에너지양을 기반으로 듀티-사이클 주기를 계산한다. 그러나 에너지 수집이 가능한 센서 네트워크에서 기존 듀티-사이클 주기는 에너지 수집률이 높은 센서 노드에 불필요한 sleep 지연을 발생시킨다. 따라서 우리는 이전 연구에서 잔여 에너지양과 에너지 수집률을 함께 고려하여 듀티 사이클-주기를 조절하는 듀티-사이클 스케줄링 기법을 제안하였다. 그러나 이러한 듀티-사이클 MAC 프로토콜들은 듀티 사이클-주기 변화에 따른 성능 차이를 고려하지 않고 듀티-사이클 주기를 항상 선형적으로 조절하므로, 응용의 요구사항에 맞는 최적의 듀티 사이클 주기를 얻지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 듀티-사이클 주기를 계산하는 세 가지 기법들을 제안하고 그 결과에 대해 분석한다. 실험을 통해 제안된 기법들이 기존 듀티-사이클 스케줄링 기법에 비해 네트워크 수명, 단대단 패킷 전송 시간과 패킷 전송률을 각각 최대 23%, 44%, 31% 증가시킴을 확인하였다. In order to increase network lifetime, duty-cycle MAC protocols which can reduce energy consumption caused by idle listening is proposed for WSNs. In common duty-cycle MAC protocols, each sensor node calculates its duty-cycle interval based on the current amount of residual energy. However, in WSNs with the capability of energy harvesting, existing duty-cycle intervals based on the residual energy may cause the sensor nodes which have high energy harvesting rate to suffer unnecessary sleep latency. Therefore, a duty-cycle scheduling scheme which adjust the duty-cycle interval based on both of the residual energy and the energy harvesting rate was proposed in our previous work. However, since this duty-cycle MAC protocol overlooked the performance variation according to the change of duty-cycle interval and adjusted the duty-cycle interval only linearly, the optimal duty-cycle interval could not be obtained to meet application requirements. In this paper, we propose three methods which calculate the duty-cycle interval and analyse their results. Through simulation study, we verify that network lifetime, end-to-end delay and packet delivery ratio can be improved up to 23%, 44% and 31% as compared to the existing linear duty-cycle scheduling method, respectively.
