In view of this, A Sink nodes’ cooperation mechanism is presented. The Sink nodes from different WSNs are adjacently deployed. Adopting multimode and spatial multiplexing network technology, the network is constructed into multi-mode-level to achieve different levels of data streaming. The network loads are shunted and the network resources are rationally utilized. Through the multi-sink nodes cooperation, the bottlenecks at the Sink node and its near several jump nodes are solved and process the competition of communication between nodes by channel adjustment. Finally, the paper analyzed the method and provided simulation experiment results. Simulation results show that the method can solve the funnel effect of the sink node, and get a good QoS.展开更多

Its core idea is that any of its wireless equipment can act as both an Access Point (AP) and a router. Each node in the network can send and receive signals as well as directly communicate with one or several peer nodes. One important issue to be considered in wireless Mesh networks is how to secure reliable data transmission in multi-hop links. To solve the problem, the 3GPP system architecture proposes two functionalities: ARQ and HARQ. This paper presents two HARQ schemes, namely hop-by-hop and edge-to-edge, and three ARQ schemes: hop-by-hop, edge-to-edge, and last-hop. Moreover, it proposes three solutions for WMNs from the perspective of protocol stock design: layered cooperative mechanism, relay ARQ mechanism and multi-hop mechanism.展开更多

Although there are many schemes proposed to optimize the underwater acoustic network communication protocols, from physical layer, data link layer, network layer to transport layer, the existing routing protocols for underwater wireless sensor network(UWSN) still cannot well deal with the problems in transmitting multimedia data because of the difficulties involved in high energy consumption, low transmission reliability or high transmission delay. It prevents us from applying underwater multimedia data to real-time monitoring of marine environment in practical application, especially in emergency search, rescue operation and military field. Therefore, the inefficient transmission of marine multimedia data has become a serious problem that needs to be solved urgently. In this paper, A Layered Load Balance Routing Protocol(L2-LBMT) is proposed for underwater multimedia data transmission. In L2-LBMT, we use layered and load-balance Ad Hoc Network to transmit data, and adopt segmented data reliable transfer(SDRT) protocol to improve the data transport reliability. And a 3-node variant of tornado(3-VT) code is also combined with the Ad Hoc Network to transmit little emergency data more quickly. The simulation results show that the proposed protocol can balance energy consumption of each node, effectively prolong the network lifetime and reduce transmission delay of marine multimedia data.展开更多
