Proposal of Receiver Initiated MAC Protocol for WSN in urban environment using IoT

Abstract: In the scenario of IoT for urban networks, network technologies depends on the application requirements such as reliability, delivery rate, safety, consumption, and others. Among the protocols existing for media access in WSN, the asynchronous methods allow for greater scalability and simple implementation. The OpenWSN group from Berkeley University build an IoT development platform under the most IoT networks standards. However, it uses synchronous mechanisms for media access. Therefore, this paper proposes an asynchronous multichannel MAC protocol based in RIT mechanism using OpenWSN platform for use in applications with low power consumption and high scalability requirements.
