Communication Timing Control with Interference Detection for Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

This paper deals with a novel communication timing control for wireless networks and radio interference problem. Communication timing control is based on the mutual synchronization of coupled phase oscillatory dynamics with a stochastic adaptation, according to the history of collision frequency in communication nodes. Through local and fully distributed interactions in the communication network, the coupled phase dynamics self-organizes collision-free communication. In wireless communication, the influence of the interference wave causes unexpected collisions. Therefore, we propose a more effective timing control by selecting the interaction nodes according to the received signal strength.
