2. Introduction July 2011 • Combination of inputs • Ideas shared in May 2011 meeting • Idea improvements • Test-bed based experiment results • Reference documents: • P802.15-11-0478-00 • P802.15-11-0348-00 • Draft IEEE P802.15.4e/D5.0, June 2011 Slide 2 Ben Rolfe Beelinker Technology Co.ltd

3. Overview • Introduction • Channel Access Description • Packet Structure Definition • Discussion Beelinker Technology Co.ltd

4. LECIM Application requirements • Low power consumption, end point need to periodically go to sleep to conserve energy • Large number of nodes, >1000endpoints, good channel access efficiency is required. • Unreliability of the channel conditions, Propagation path loss of at least 120 dB Beelinker Technology Co.ltd

5. IEEE P802.15.4e MAC-- Basic CSL Operation • Challenges in 802.15.4K applications： • Larger number of endpoints make high channel contention. Through 8 nodes testbed based experiments, we observe that even 0.5 packet/s traffic with 50 bytes packet length (0.5kbps/s), buffer accumulation takes place in receiver nodes. • It cost a long period for node to seize the channel again in duty-cycling operation, so the buffered packets need to be drained drain ASAP. • imperfect channel condition led to packet lost during transmission, packets buffer schemesand retransmission is necessary Beelinker Technology Co.ltd

6. Our Schemes Buffer design Consideration Current typical off-the-shelf nodes ( equipped with 802.15.4 radio part ) Traditional program cost 1,500 bytes ram footprint, which used for variable allocation and operation system running. 8,500 bytes spare ram is available for buffer design with MSP430 microcontroller has 10k bytes ram Telosb Maximal frame length of MPDU in IEEE 802.15.4 2006 standard is 128 bytes Total buffer capacity available in Telosb node: 8500/128=66, which is sufficient for buffer based MAC scheme design Beelinker Technology Co.ltd

7. Our Schemes Batch transmission ( based onIEEE P802.15.4e -- Basic CSL Operation ) • If sender detect N packets in buffer, it launch batch transmission to alleviate congestion. • After receive the first ACK, sender transmit a bulk of packets, then wait the ACK that acknowledge the series. • If packets lost caused by imperfect channel, sender retransmit the packets. Packet accumulated in buffer Batch packets number is embedded in the preamble …… Node A data1 data0 data0 data0 data2 data3 dataN wakeup ack ack listen Node C Group Ack to comfirm the batch series. The packet which not received are reply to sender for retransmission Early ack to end preamble and begin to transmission. Also contains free buffer size information on receiver Beelinker Technology Co.ltd

8. MAC Protocol Description Reliability Transmission Consideration • The first data packet has the information about how many packet need to send in current burst transmission. • The first ACK includes the information about spare buffer space on receiver, which can be used for batch transmission control. • The second ACK is used for acknowledge which packet are received successfully, which is store in the bitmap field.

9. Our Schemes Contribution 3 –batch transmission • Important packet parameters • Nmax-- the maximum packets allowed in a batch transmission • Ncur-- calculated packets number in a burst transmission • Nbst-- current actual packets number in a burst transmission • Qmax--maximum capacity of node • Tmax—maximum time allowed by fairness requirement. • Nbst1 < Qmax-η2 • Let • So • if Ncur >Nmax, Nbst=Nmax; • else if Ncur≤ Nmax, Nbst=Ncur; • K: Transmission speed, Lack: length of ACK packet • Ldata: length of data packet, tsifs: interval of two consetive data packets Nbst1 Qmax η1 η2 sender receiver Beelinker Technology Co.ltd
