MAC Address Assignment Algorithm Using Static Game Model in Wireless Sensor Networks
Kaixin Ren · Journal of Chinese Computer Systems · 2009
In order to reduce the energy consume of MAC address assignment in sensor networks,a novel MAC address assignment algorithm based on static game model is proposed. The algorithm,called MAAS,modeled sensor nodes as players in the game model. MAAS solved the address assignment problem based on the Nash equilibrium in the game model. Taking advantage of that each node in game model can choose its address independently,MAAS avoided sending too many messages. Experimental results show that the MAAS algorithm reduced the energy consume in communication with low address collision probability.
