The Study of MAC Protocol for Industrial Wireless Sensor Network Based on Ultra-wide Band

The paper is focused on MAC protocol for WSN based on UWB. And utilizing the particular signal character, a multi-channel MAC protocol (UWBIMAC) was developed based on status-adaptive to choose channel mechanism. The UWBIMAC protocol ensure to the reliability and real-time for industrial WSN. The results of simulations show that the protocol has stronger anti-jamming, can improve network throughput and provides better average delay performance than IEEE802.15.4, IEEE802.11 and other UWB MAC protocols for industrial WSN.
