Abstract

The popularity of concurrent transmissions (CT) has soared after recent studies have shown their feasibility on the four physical layers specified by BLE 5, hence providing an alternative to the use of IEEE 802.15.4 for the design of reliable and efficient low-power wireless protocols. However, to date, the extent to which physical layer properties affect the performance of CT has not yet been investigated in detail. This article fills this gap and provides an extensive study on the impact of the physical layer on CT-based solutions using IEEE 802.15.4 and BLE 5. We first highlight through simulation how the impact of errors induced by relative carrier frequency offsets on the performance of CT highly depends on the choice of the underlying physical layer. We then confirm these observations experimentally on real hardware and with varying environmental conditions through an analysis of the bit error distribution across received packets, unveiling possible techniques to effectively handle these errors. We further study the performance of CT-based data collection and dissemination protocols in the presence of RF interference on a large-scale testbed, deriving insights on how the employed physical layer affects their dependability.

OSF: An Open-Source Framework for Synchronous Flooding over Multiple Physical Layers
EWSN '22: Proceedings of the 2022 International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks

Flooding protocols based on concurrent transmissions are regarded as the most reliable way to collect or disseminate data across a multi-hop low-power wireless mesh network. Recent works have shown that such protocols are effective for narrowband ...
Concurrent-MAC: increasing concurrent transmissions in multi-AP wireless lans
MobiCom '13: Proceedings of the 19th annual international conference on Mobile computing & networking

This paper presents the design and performance evaluation of Concurrent-MAC, a MAC protocol for increasing concurrent transmissions in multi-AP wireless LANs. Based on SINR values between stations and APs, sets of concurrent transmitters are identified ...
Interactions between the physical layer and upper layers in wireless networks

The physical layer in wireless networks has characteristics that profoundly influence the operation of a network and the resulting performance. Interactions between the physical layer and higher layers are complex and intricate, and cannot be understood ...
