The invention discloses a time division multiple access/frequency division multiple access (TDMA/FDMA)-based wireless sensor network (WSN) medium access control (mac) layer scheduling method. By the scheduling method, channels are distributed by using a time division multiplex (TDM) system in clusters and a frequency division multiplex (FDM) system among the clusters aiming at a clustering-based data collection type WSN network. The TDM system and the FDM system favorably overcome the defect of a large number of access conflicts of a contention type mac scheduling method under the condition of high network load. Meanwhile, by the novel mac scheduling method, carrier sense multiple access (csma) time slots are introduced at a communication stage in the clusters, so that the defect of low expansibility of the TDMA scheduling methods is overcome. A node revives in an active period to forward data and enters a dormancy state in an inactive period, so that the energy consumption is lowered. According to the conditions of the network load, by the scheduling method, the duty ratio of the active period in the communication cycle can be automatically adjusted, the dynamic requirements of the network on throughput can be met, and the time delay of the data is reduced to a certain extent.

The application relates to scheduling for orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) transmissions in a wireless local area network (WLAN). An access point (AP) contends for a medium during a contention period in order to obtain exclusive control of the medium for a certain time period that may include one or more transmission opportunities. The AP and client stations (STAs) communicate during the time period using orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) techniques with scheduled use (i.e., allocation) of sub-channels of the medium. The AP controls this scheduling for down-link and up-link communications by sending control signaling to inform the STAs of the resource allocation schedule which specifies STAs involved in the OFDMA communications along with the sub-channel identification bandwidth allocated to each STA. The control signaling may be a combination of physical layer (PHY) and medium access control layer (MAC) communicated information.
