Energy-Efficient Strategies for Cooperative Multi-Channel

MAC Protocols
Abstract:
In this paper we introduce Distributed Information SHaring (DISH), which is a new
cooperative approach to designing multi-channel MAC protocols. It aids nodes in their decision
making processes by compensating for their missing information via information sharing through
other neighboring nodes. However energy efficiency is a critical issue for ad hoc communication
devices in the real world. In this paper, we address this issue by developing simple solutions
which reduce the energy consumption, without compromising the throughput performance, and
meanwhile maximize cost efficiency. Here we are proposing two energy-efficient strategies: insitu energy conscious DISH which uses existing nodes only, and altruistic DISH which needs
additional nodes called altruists. We compare five protocols with respect to the strategies and
identify altruistic DISH to be the right choice in general: it conserves 40-80% of energy,
maintains the throughput advantage gained from the DISH approach, and more than doubles the
cost efficiency compared to protocols without applying the strategy.

Existing System:
Distributed Information SHaring (DISH) is a new cooperative approach to designing
multi-channel MAC protocols. DISH will be mainly used by ad hoc communication devices due
to its distributed nature; energy efficiency becomes a crucial issue since those devices are mostly
battery powered. The prior work focused on throughput without considering energy
consumption. It wont aids nodes in their decision making processes by compensating for their
missing information via information sharing through other neighboring nodes.

Disadvantage:
More Energy consumption
Throughput performance will not be compromised
Need more cost

Proposed System:
Here proposed a distinctive approach called DISH (Distributed Information SHaring),
which uses a single radio but operates asynchronously. A DISH-based protocol called CAMMAC, in which neighboring nodes share control information with senders and receivers to
compensate for their missed information in order to choose collision free channels or avoid busy
receivers. We propose two energy-efficient strategies: in-situ energy conscious DISH which uses
existing nodes only and altruistic DISH which needs additional nodes called altruists.

Advantage:

Reduce energy consumption

Compromising the throughput performance
Minimizing cost efficiency
