- Abstract
- Existing contention based nonpersistent medium access control protocols in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) do not perform well in high contention. Their performances are affected by occurrence of collision due to uniform probability distribution in choosing Time Slot (TS) during backoff period. To address this issue nonuniform probability distribution was proposed. However success rate still drops for higher number of contenders. In this paper we propose CSMA/s (Collision Sense Multiple Access /per Slot based), a new approach in nonuniform contender-aware probability distribution for choosing TS in the backoff period. Rather than taking a premeditated fixed value for contender population size, our proposed scheme embeds neighborhood population size into its bedrock to automatically converge to the actual number of contenders which enables the contender to adaptively choose TS in the backoff period for reducing collision. This method produces better success rate and lower latency for even very high number of contenders.
