2.5 Layer Protocol for Traffic Regulation in Ultra-dense Nanonetwork Traffic Regulation in Ultra-dense Nanonetwork

摘要

The nano terahertz networks represent one of the promising areas in the field of wireless telecommunications. Technological advances in miniaturization of antennas and terahertz communications have paved the way for new network applications such as the body network, the programmable material and multi-core processors. Some of these applications require the concentration of a very large number of tiny nodes in a limited space. In this ultra-dense context and in the absence of centralized access control units, we propose to implement a distributed strategy of spatial and temporal traffic regulation to guard against the risks of congestion, interference and energy over-consumption. In this paper, we propose a protocol for optimizing terahertz radio links using beam steering antenna, distributed time division technique and sleep mode in order to reduce the flow of redundant traffic over the network, smooth the volume of communications exchanged over time, and preserves the lifetime of the nodes.
