A distance-measurement-oriented distributed TDMA scheduling algorithm for sensor networks

In considering home network environment, there is a possibility which provides limited/specific services by configuring the network in accordance with the particular context when linked to a variety of devices. In this paper, a distributed TDMA slot scheduling with prioritized control based on Lamport´s bakery algorithm is proposed. The scheduling aims at the realization of media access control methods which can constitute a localized network by measuring the distance to respective node. The proposed scheme can be shown as a possible replacement of DRAND algorithm for Z-MAC scheme with a distance-measurement-oriented manner. The scheme can contribute to the efficient TDMA slot allocation.
