Abstract
In this paper we propose the FQSM(Fairness and QoS Supporting MAC) protocol that supports fairness and Quality of Service(QoS). The received or measured data traffics will be assigned a priority level according to its transmission urgency in the FQSM. And the load prediction algorithm is used to support the fairness between different priority traffics. For this, the buffer length values of the nodes are continuously monitored for a some period. Based on the buffer length variations for this period, the order of transmission is determined. FQSM also adapts cross-layer concept to rearrange the data transmission order in each sensor node's buffer, saves energy consumption by allowing few nodes in data transmission, and prolongs the network lifetime.
