Thesis
MS Thesis: QoS-Aware MAC Protocol Design for Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks
• Proposed a novel QoS-aware MAC protocol named “Diff-MAC” with differentiated services and
hybrid prioritization for wireless multimedia sensor networks which aims to increase the utilization
of the channel with effective service differentiation mechanisms while providing fair and fast data
delivery
• Implemented Diff-MAC on OPNET Modeler and made its comparative performance evaluation with
other MAC protocols.
• A realistic link layer model adopted for modeling the underlying wireless channel characteristics.
