A traffic self-adaptive energy-saving
media access control method relates to
media access control methods. According to the method, an MAC (
Media Access Control) protocol for energy saving according to the flow of a
physical layer, namely, TAE-MAC (Traffic Adaptive Energy-saving-
Media Access Control) is used; the TAE-MAC uses an RTS (
Request to Send) / CTS (
Clear to Send) reservation mechanism, a data frame DS (
Data Structure) is constructed for completing and achieving RTS / CTS reservation and confirmation, a non-competitive TDMA (
Time Division Multiple Access) protocol is used for achieving
wireless channel
access control, the operation mechanism of
wireless nodes is divided into two parts of an
active stage and an inactive stage, and the TAE-MAC protocol is used for nodes for achieving the
wireless channel
access control of the nodes when the data frame DS is transmitted for completing a
handshake. The traffic self-adaptive energy-saving
media access control method based on characteristics of wireless industrial control networks can effectively solve the problem of energy saving of wireless nodes in industrial environments, can effectively prolong the
service life cycle of a
wireless control network, and relieves the application blocking of a
wireless network in the field of industrial control due to the energy problem.
