Abstract

Mobile Wireless Sensor Network (MWSN) owes its name to the presence of mobile sensor nodes within the network. It has recently launched a growing popular class of WSN in which mobility becomes an important area of research for the WSN community. In this type of network the energy efficiency is the key design challenge. For this reason MAC layer protocols for MWSN based on IR-UWB must be energy efficient to exploit the main features of IR-UWB technology implemented in the physical layer and maximize lifetime. In this paper we present and show the good impact in term of energy consumption for an energy-efficient MAC protocol in MWSN based on IR-UWB. This MAC protocol takes advantage of these two key properties by using asynchronous periodic beacon transmissions from each network node and its duty-cycling mode.

We developed our own class MWideMacLayer under MiXiM platform on OMNet++ platform to test and evaluate the performance of WideMac protocol compared to ALOHA and Slotted ALOHA.
