Abstract

PMCMTP is a Prioritized Multi-Channel Multi- Time slot MAC protocol that the authors have proposed for allowing to simultaneous use of several frequency channels. This protocol is designed for UWB of IEEE802.15.4a but it can also be used over IEEE802.15.4. In this paper, we design and implement a testbed of this protocol to demonstrate its practical implementability. Due to the unavailability of UWB transceiver, the testbed has been performed using classic 2.4GHz WSN transceivers. To reduce the complexity of resource sharing, the global network is composed of a set of Personal Area Networks (PANs) or cells. So, the PMCMTPs experiments are performed for a single PAN and two PANs.
