Distributed Fair Scheduling in <strong>Wireless</strong> <strong>Ad</strong> <strong>Hoc</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Sensor</strong> <strong>Networks</strong> 349that the channel uncertainties for the simulations are the same at therespective time instants. Sample attenuation observed for a r<strong>and</strong>om receivernode was presented in Chapter 6. The results were repeated for a number ofdifferent, r<strong>and</strong>omly generated scenarios, <strong>and</strong> they were averaged.The st<strong>and</strong>ard AODV routing protocol was used, whereas any routingprotocol can be employed because the proposed work is independent ofa routing protocol. The following values were used for all the simulations,unless otherwise specified: channel b<strong>and</strong>width is taken as 2 Mbps. Themaximum power used for transmission is selected as 0.2818 W; the targetSIR for the proposed DPC is equal to 10, the minimum SIR for error-freereception is equal to 4 (~6 db). The target SIR value is 2.5 times higherthan minimum SIR to overcome an unpredictable fading. For the proposedDPC, the design parameters are selected as Kv = 0.01, <strong>and</strong> = 0.01.The safety margin in case of retransmissions is set to 1.5 for the proposedDPC scheme. For the sleep mode, each sensor will initiate periodicdummy communication toward its CH after an idle period of 0.5 sec.Example 7.6.1: Twelve-Cluster <strong>Sensor</strong> Network ResultsThe network consists of 109 nodes: 96 sensor nodes, 12 CHs, <strong>and</strong> 1 BS.Each sensor generates steady traffic. The flow rates are varied betweensimulations. Figure 7.23 shows contention time for different per flow rates.The DPC outperforms 802.11 by about 10%. The DPC with the sleep modehas the shortest contention time for all simulated traffic rates due to theinclusion of the sleep mode.300Contention for cluster topology12 clusters, 8 sensors per cluster, duration 2Contention (Msec)2502001501005006 8 10 12 14 16 18 20Per-flow rate (Kbps)DPC + sleep modeDPC802.11FIGURE 7.23Contention time for varying per flow rate.
