Multi Hop Ad-Hoc Networks typically refer to interconnected sensing devices with limited processing, communication, and power capabilities. Self-organization, reliability, and energy efficiency are important issues in these networks. Energy efficient, traffic adaptive, multi-channel, and schedule based MAC Layer protocols have been studied for ad-hoc networks in this thesis. Medium sharing problem is one of the most important topic for multi hop ad-hoc networks, especially under intensive data traffic. In recent years, traffic adaptive MAC Layer protocols are becoming more popular in these networks to solve the heavy data traffic scenarios problems. Traffic adaptive MAC Layer protocols aim low power consumption by arranging nodes’ priorities with respect to nodes’ traffic density. These protocols determine that which node will be transmitter and which node will be receiver and lastly which nodes will be in sleep state. In addition, these protocols should have good solutions for high throughput and low latency while they keep providing low power consumption. Besides, traffic adaptive MAC Layer protocols should handle basic problems of ad-hoc networks such as hidden terminal problem, exposed terminal problem, collisions. Traffic Adaptive Medium Access Protocol (TRAMA), Flow-Aware Medium Access Protocol (FLAMA), and Dynamic Multi-channel Medium Access Protocol (DYNAMMA) are traffic adaptive MAC Layer protocols that have been evaluated in this study. These three protocols had been examined with only grid network topologies in the previous studies. The first aim of this work is to repeat the literature results for these protocols. Then, these protocols have been simulated for vi different scenarios such as random network topologies, different transmission ranges and signal model with shadow fading.

On the performance, availability and energy consumption modelling of clustered IoT systems Ever, Enver; Shah, Purav; Mostarda, Leonardo; Omondi, Fredrick; Gemikonakli, Orhan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-12-01) Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) form a large part of the ecosystem of the Internet of Things (IoT), hence they have numerous application domains with varying performance and availability requirements. Limited resources that include processing capability, queue capacity, and available energy in addition to frequent node and link failures degrade the performance and availability of these networks. In an attempt to efficiently utilise the limited resources and to maintain the reliable network with efficient da...
Evaluation of priority dependent and time scheduled MAC layer protocols for ad-hoc networks Erdeğer, İsmail; Baykal, Buyurman; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015) Ad-hoc networks have very unique features, such as dynamic topologies, relatively limited bandwidth and wireless signal propagation schemes, which present various challenges for wireless communication. In this thesis, control mechanisms for channel access scheduling and topology in ad-hoc networks are evaluated, which utilize the information from two-hop neighborhood to cope with the communication difficulties in ad-hoc networks. Channel assignment is one of the most important topics for ad-hoc networks. Ch...
Rule-Based In-Network Processing in Wireless Sensor Networks Sanli, Ozgur; KÖRPEOĞLU, İBRAHİM; Yazıcı, Adnan (2009-07-10) Wireless sensor networks are application-specific networks, and usually a new network design is required for a new application. In event-driven wireless sensor network applications, the sink node of the network is generally concerned with the higher level information describing the events happening in the network, not the raw sensor data of individual sensor nodes. As the communication is a costly operation in wireless sensor networks, it is important to process the raw data triggering the events inside the...
Energy-aware routing algorithms for wireless ad hoc networks with heterogeneous power supplies Vazifehdan, Javad; Prasad, R. Venkatesha; Onur, Ertan; Niemegeers, Ignas (Elsevier BV, 2011-10-27) Although many energy-aware routing schemes have been proposed for wireless ad hoc networks, they are not optimized for networks with heterogeneous power supplies, where nodes may run on battery or be connected to the mains (grid network). In this paper, we propose several energy-aware routing algorithms for such ad hoc networks. The proposed algorithms feature directing the traffic load dynamically towards mains-powered devices keeping the hop count of selected routes minimal. We unify these algorithms into...
Analysis and modeling of routing and security problems in wireless sensor networks with mathematical programming İncebacak, Davut; Baykal, Nazife; Bıçakcı, Kemal; Department of Information Systems (2013) Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are composed of battery powered small sensor nodes with limited processing, memory and energy resources. Self organization property together with infrastructureless characteristics of WSNs make them favorable solutions for many applications. Algorithms and protocols developed for WSNs must consider the characteristics and constraints of WSNs but since battery replenishment is not possible or highly challenging for sensor nodes, one of the major concerns in designing network p...
