To address the problems that data transmission delay is high and the channel utilization rate is low in the TAB-MAC (Assisted Beamforming MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol for terahertz communication network) for present terahertz Wireless Personal Area Network (T-WPAN), an Efficient and Fast dual-channel MAC protocol for T-WPAN (EF-MAC) was proposed. A test frame was sent to the source node through destination node to reduce an acknowledgment frame, so as to reduce control overhead and test delay. And then a sending and receiving mechanism of node location information was adaptively concelled, the source or destination node obtained the location information of the other node through interaction process previously of RTS/CTS (Request To Send/Clear To Send) frame, and the position of other node had not changed, thus the location information of RTS or CTS frame could be omitted to reduce control overhead. The theoretical analysis and simulation results show that compared with TAB-MAC protocol, the proposed protocol can effectively reduce data transmission delay and improve network throughput.

To realize 10Gbps level wireless access under the condition of terahertz (THz) carrier frequency, a new Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for THz ultra-high data-rate wireless networks, MAC-T (Medium Access Control for THz) was proposed in this paper. In MAC-T, a new TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access)+CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access) adaptive hybrid MAC access control mechanism and a new superframe structure were designed. Moreover, some key parameters corresponding to terahertz communications were defined. Therefore, MAC-T could make the maximum data transmission rate reach up to 10Gbps or higher. The theoretical analysis and simulation results show that MAC-T can operate normally in terahertz networks and the data rate can reach up to 18.3Gbps which is 2.16 times 5.78Gbps that IEEE 802.15.3c can achieve. Meanwhile, the average access delay of MAC-T is 0.0044s which improves about 42.1% compared with that of IEEE 802.15.3 which is 0.0076s. Thus, MAC-T can provide significant support in the research and application of terahertz ultra-high data-rate wireless networks.

Mobile Agent-based routing optimization algorithm in large-scale wireless sensor networks
Qiang ZHOU Xun-xue CUI Gui-lin CHEN
Journal of Computer Applications    2011, 31 (07): 1924-1927.   DOI: 10.3724/SP.J.1087.2011.01924

The common routing algorithms tremendously dissipate energy in largescale wireless sensor networks, which goes against the maximization of the network lifetime. A routing model about mobile Agent in sensor networks was drawn out, and then an optimization problem of mobile Agent static route was derived. A chaotic simulated annealing with memory ability and various neighborhood search methods were proposed to optimize the route of mobile Agent in largescale sensor network. The theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is superior to other intelligent algorithms in terms of the solutions, the convergence speed, and the computation time. It proves that the proposed approach has obviously prolonged the network lifetime.
