CDS: A multi-channel MAC protocol with collision detection for wireless sensor networks

Abstract

This paper proposes a multi-channel MAC protocol, CDS, for WSNs to tackle the collision incurred by channel selection. By using collision detection, when the collision occurs, a receiver can timely detect it and notify the sender to abort this transmission. Performance improves because the remainder of this message is not sent on this channel unnecessarily. Instead, this channel is released for other more productive transmissions. Therefore, CDS can efficiently handle the collision, and conserve more energy to extend the lifetime of WSNs. More importantly, CDS is fully distributed with no requirements of time synchronization or multi-radio, so it is practical to realize CDS in sensor nodes. Moreover, CDS is evaluated in testbed experiments, and the results indicate that when the number of channels, loads and number of neighbors increase, CDS significantly improves throughput.
