Resumen

Descripción

One of the main issues of routing protocols on wireless ad-hoc networks is the energy consumed by the traffic generated in the route discovery and routing table construction and maintenance. To reduce such of amount messages, we propose to use a backbone structure which would control the network traffic flow in an energy-efficient manner. This paper proposes the implementation of the energy-efficient selforganized algorithm (EESOA) as Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol. Also, we extended the algorithm to address network segmentation by handling inter clusters connectivity. EESOA as MAC provide a backbone structure for wireless ad-hoc networks due to their cluster-based capabilities and robustness to topology changes. The encapsulation of EESOA on MAC provides a cross layer solution, agnostic to the routing protocol and wireless technology. To show the performance of this cross-layer solution, an implementation of a wireless ad-hoc network with AODV and EESOA as MAC protocol in the NS3 simulator is used. This simulation allows evaluating the performance of the AODV routingprotocoloverEESOAasMACprotocolcomparedagainst normal Ad-hoc MAC. Therefore, the use of routing protocol over a self-organized algorithm can obtain better results, in packet loss, network connectivity and node reachability.
