This presentation discusses the interdependence between local contention and network-wide congestion in wireless sensor and actor networks. The study analyzes the effects of various factors such as the number of actors, number of sources, buffer size, MAC layer, and energy efficiency on network performance. The conclusion highlights the necessity of adaptive cross-layer congestion control and traffic-aware contention window size adjustment for improved reliability and energy efficiency.

Problems in WSAN • Memory restrictions of sensor nodes • Limited capacity of shared wireless medium • Waste of resource • Event detection reliability Congestion Life time QoS
Previous work • Channel contention, number of sources, packet collisions, … • Hybrid approach Local interaction Overall performance MAC layer Transport layer Contention Congestion
Environment • Ns-2 • 100 X 100 m2 sensor field • Hundred sensors randomly • 16 actors evenly on a circle • 5 different topologies • Average of these simulations
Performance metrics • Event reliability • Energy efficiency • End-to-end latency • MAC Layer Errors • Buffer overflows
(1)Effect of number of actors Non-congested transition congested
Effect of number of actors Increase # of actors Disperse traffic Local interactions of routes Minimize congestion Increase contention Optimal # of actors
Effect of number of sources Increase # of sources Local contention Spatial increase in info Early congestion Accuracy of event estimation Optimal # of sources
Conclusion(1) • Interdependence between local contention and network-wide congestion • Small buffer size is more efficient • Local reliability is not sufficient for overall reliability • Traffic-aware contention window size adjustment is required • Adaptive cross-layer congestion control is necessary • Energy efficient adjustments are possible • Higher resolution VS higher congestion
