High-throughput time group access MCR-SS-CSMA/CA for wireless ad hoc networks with layered-tree topology

Multi-hop packet transmission error due to packet collision is a serious issue for realizing large-scale wireless ad hoc networks. In order to solve the issues, a multicode-reception spread-spectrum (MCR-SS)-CSMA/CA scheme is proposed as multiple access scheme for layered-tree networks. This scheme is further improved by adding a time group access (TGA) technique to gain higher interference reduction between nodes. The proposed TGA scheme divides the layered-tree network into upper subnets group and lower subnets group, thus reducing collision probability among subnets. Network throughput and data delivery ratio for the proposed scheme are analyzed by simulations based on the IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee specification. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes can improve packet delivery ratio and network throughput remarkably.
