4 Introductions (cont.) Current sensor network protocol is Current sensor network protocol is SMAC( Sensor Media Access Control ) and SMAC( Sensor Media Access Control ) and DMD( Distributed node schedule management DMD( Distributed node schedule management includes a Mediation Device ) includes a Mediation Device ) This paper will descript TADNS, that is DNSM (Distributed node schedule management ) This paper will descript TADNS, that is DNSM (Distributed node schedule management ) including local traffic information including local traffic information

5 SMAC Utilize virtual clustering to provide good scalability. Utilize virtual clustering to provide good scalability. If no one wants to talk to the node, it will go to sleep until the next listen period. If no one wants to talk to the node, it will go to sleep until the next listen period. Each node shares its listening schedule with neighbors in order to form a virtual cluster. Each node shares its listening schedule with neighbors in order to form a virtual cluster. Nodes on the board of different clusters must support more than one schedule. Nodes on the board of different clusters must support more than one schedule.

8 DMD A new task called mediation device ( MD ). A new task called mediation device ( MD ). The node in charge acts as a mediator between other nearby nodes. The node in charge acts as a mediator between other nearby nodes. All the nodes periodically enter MD mode and listen to other sensor ’ s queries. All the nodes periodically enter MD mode and listen to other sensor ’ s queries. Each node wake up at a random time, and transmits a query packet to announce its next scheduled wake up time that is record by MD. Each node wake up at a random time, and transmits a query packet to announce its next scheduled wake up time that is record by MD.

19 Conclusions A new wireless sensor network MAC layer was presented and compares with SMAC and A new wireless sensor network MAC layer was presented and compares with SMAC and The new protocol inherits certain properties of MD and SMAC. The new protocol inherits certain properties of MD and SMAC. Low power consumption and collision avoidance are the main advantage of DNSM. Low power consumption and collision avoidance are the main advantage of DNSM. TADNS protocol reduce power when the traffic node in the network is high.
