The invention discloses a method for optimizing the access to a
wireless sensor network channel based on a mixed MAC protocol. The mixed MAC protocol is obtained by mixing a CSMA /
CA protocol and a TDMA protocol. The method for optimizing the access to the
wireless sensor network channel includes the steps that firstly, sensor nodes in a
wireless sensor network with high loads are divided into multiple sets; secondly, the sets have the access to the channel based on the mixed MAC protocol, wherein the sensor nodes in each set independently have the access to the channel in a CSMA /
CA protocol competing manner, and the sensor nodes among the sets share and have the access to the channel in a TDMA protocol scheduling mode. In addition, the invention discloses a
system for optimizing the access to the
wireless sensor network channel based on the mixed MAC protocol. According to the method and
system for optimizing the access to the
wireless sensor network channel based on the mixed MAC protocol, the channel is used for sending data, the time
delay performance of the network can be improved, the handling capacity of the network is improved,
energy consumption of the sensor nodes is reduced, the access fairness is improved, and the access expansibility is improved.
