The proposed MAC scheme is specifically designed for wireless sensor networks which have periodic traffic. In our MAC scheme, the duty cycle is shortened by making nodes wake up only when an environmental sample is taken. Also in SEA-MAC, only the base station can start and maintain synchronization. Consequently, the synchronization is unique in the whole network.

After the TOA estimation using the time domain smoothing UWB signal, one time domain sample corresponding to the strongest TOA was eliminated. Then fast Fourier transform (FFT) was performed and AOA was estimated for every frequency point. These processes were iterated after selecting the next strongest TOA until all the available TOAs were eliminated. The result of anechoic chamber tests using two sources indicated that the resolution of TOA was more than 1 ns, that of AOA was more than 3deg for half wavelength element spacing.","PeriodicalId":403213,"journal":{"name":"2007 2nd International Symposium on Wireless Pervasive Computing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132335176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research enhances our DA-MLAR protocol with on demand transmission power (ODTP) capability. By using different transmission power based on the calculated distance from the current sender node to the destination node or the next hop node, DA-MLAR-ODTP gets the best of the directional and omni-directional modes. Compared to DA-MLAR, on demand transmission power mode further improves the packet delivery ratio by up to 37% and dwindles end-to-end delay by up to 57% with more or less the same amount of energy consumption.

In this paper, we present a MUD structure that detects all users' symbols simultaneously in one run. The proposed structure is based on extending the integration time at the receiver to capture the energy scattered in two consecutive symbol durations. We derive the optimal receiver structure and implement it using a low-complexity ant colony optimization (ACO) approach.
