| description | Designing reasonable MAC scheduling strategies is an important means to ensure transmission quality in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). When there exist multiple available routes from the source to the destination, it is necessary to combine a data traffic allocation mechanism and design a multi-path MAC scheduling scheme in order to ensure QoS. This paper develops a multi-path resource allocation method for multi-channel wireless sensor networks, which uses random-access technology to complete MAC scheduling and selects the transmission path for each packet according to the probability. Through theoretical analysis and simulation experiments, it can be found that the proposed strategy can provide a reliable throughput capacity region. Meanwhile, due to the use of random-access technology, the computational complexity of the proposed algorithm can be independent of the number of links and channels. |
