\begin{abstract}\r
Multifrequency media access control has been well understood in\r
general wireless ad hoc networks, while in wireless sensor networks,\r
researchers still focus on single frequency solutions. In wireless\r
sensor networks, each device is typically equipped with a single\r
radio transceiver and applications adopt much smaller packet sizes\r
compared to those in general wireless ad hoc networks. Hence, the\r
multifrequency MAC protocols proposed for general wireless ad hoc\r
networks are not suitable for wireless sensor network applications,\r
which we further demonstrate through our simulation experiments. In\r
this article, we propose MMSN, which takes advantage of\r
multifrequency availability while, at the same time, takes into\r
consideration the restrictions of wireless sensor networks. Through\r
extensive experiments, MMSN exhibits the prominent ability to utilize\r
parallel transmissions among neighboring nodes. When multiple physical\r
frequencies are available, it also achieves increased energy\r
efficiency, demonstrating the ability to work against radio\r
interference and the tolerance to a wide range of measured time\r
synchronization errors.\r

\section{Introduction}\r
\r
As a new technology, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has a wide\r
range of applications [Culler 2001,Bahl 2002,Akyildiz 2001], including\r
environment monitoring, smart buildings, medical care, industrial and\r
military applications. Among them, a recent trend is to develop\r
commercial sensor networks that require pervasive sensing of both\r
environment and human beings, for example, assisted living\r
[Akyildiz 2002,Harvard 2001,CROSSBOW] and smart homes\r
[Harvard 2001,Adya 2001,CROSSBOW].\r
% quote\r
\begin{quote}\r
``For these applications, sensor devices are incorporated into human\r
cloths [Natarajan 2001,Zhou 2006,Bahl 2002,Adya 2001] for monitoring\r
health related information like EKG readings, fall detection, and voice recognition".\r
\end{quote}\r
While collecting all these multimedia information\r
[Akyildiz 2002] requires a high network throughput, off-the-shelf\r
sensor devices only provide very limited bandwidth in a single\r
channel: 19.2Kbps in MICA2 [Bahl 2002] and 250Kbps in MICAz.\r
\r
In this article, we propose MMSN, abbreviation for Multifrequency\r
Media access control for wireless Sensor Networks. The main\r
contributions of this work can be summarized as follows.\r
% itemize\r
\begin{itemize}\r
\item To the best of our knowledge, the MMSN protocol is the first\r
multifrequency MAC protocol especially designed for WSNs, in which\r
each device is equipped with a single radio transceiver and\r
the MAC layer packet size is very small.\r
\item Instead of using pairwise RTS/CTS frequency negotiation\r
[Adya 2001,Culler 2001; Tzamaloukas 2001; Zhou 2006],\r
we propose lightweight frequency assignments, which are good choices\r
for many deployed comparatively static WSNs.\r
\item We develop new toggle transmission and snooping techniques to\r
enable a single radio transceiver in a sensor device to achieve\r
scalable performance, avoiding the nonscalable ``one\r
control channel + multiple data channels'' design [Natarajan 2001].\r
\end{itemize}\r

% Head 2\r
\subsection{Frequency Assignment}\r
\r
We propose a suboptimal distribution to be used by each node, which is\r
easy to compute and does not depend on the number of competing\r
nodes. A natural candidate is an increasing geometric sequence, in\r
which\r
% Numbered Equation\r
\begin{equation}\r
\label{eqn:01}\r
P(t)=\frac{b^{\frac{t+1}{T+1}}-b^{\frac{t}{T+1}}}{b-1},\r
\end{equation}\r
where $t=0,{\ldots}\,,T$, and $b$ is a number greater than $1$.\r
\r
In our algorithm, we use the suboptimal approach for simplicity and\r
generality. We need to make the distribution of the selected back-off\r
time slice at each node conform to what is shown in Equation\r
(\ref{eqn:01}). It is implemented as follows: First, a random\r
variable $\alpha$ with a uniform distribution within the interval\r
$(0, 1)$ is generated on each node, then time slice $i$ is selected\r
according to the following equation:\r
% Unnumbered Equation\r
\[\r
i=\lfloor(T+1)\log_b[\alpha(b-1)+1]\rfloor.\r
\]\r
It can be easily proven that the distribution of $i$ conforms to Equation\r
(\ref{eqn:01}).\r
\r
So protocols [Bahl 2002,Culler 2001,Zhou 2006,Adya 2001,Culler 2001;\r
Tzamaloukas-01; Akyildiz-01] that use RTS/CTS\r
controls\footnote{RTS/CTS controls are required to be implemented by\r
802.11-compliant devices. They can be used as an optional mechanism\r
to avoid Hidden Terminal Problems in the 802.11 standard and\r
protocols based on those similar to [Akyildiz 2001] and\r
[Adya 2001].} for frequency negotiation and reservation are not\r
suitable for WSN applications, even though they exhibit good\r
performance in general wireless ad hoc\r
networks.\r
\r
% Head 3\r
\subsubsection{Exclusive Frequency Assignment}\r
\r
In exclusive frequency assignment, nodes first exchange their IDs\r
among two communication hops so that each node knows its two-hop\r
neighbors' IDs. In the second broadcast, each node beacons all\r
neighbors' IDs it has collected during the first broadcast period.\r
\r
% Head 4\r
\paragraph{Eavesdropping}\r
\r
Even though the even selection scheme leads to even sharing of\r
available frequencies among any two-hop neighborhood, it involves a\r
number of two-hop broadcasts. To reduce the communication cost, we\r
propose a lightweight eavesdropping scheme.\r
\r
\subsection{Basic Notations}\r
\r
As Algorithm~\ref{alg:one} states, for each frequency\r
number, each node calculates a random number (${\textit{Rnd}}_{\alpha}$) for\r
itself and a random number (${\textit{Rnd}}_{\beta}$) for each of its two-hop\r
neighbors with the same pseudorandom number generator.\r
% Algorithm\r
\begin{algorithm}[t]\r
\SetAlgoNoLine\r
\KwIn{Node $\alpha$'s ID ($ID_{\alpha}$), and node $\alpha$'s\r
neighbors' IDs within two communication hops.}\r
\KwOut{The frequency number ($FreNum_{\alpha}$) node $\alpha$ gets assigned.}\r
$index$ = 0; $FreNum_{\alpha}$ = -1\;\r
\Repeat{$FreNum_{\alpha} > -1$}{\r
        $Rnd_{\alpha}$ = Random($ID_{\alpha}$, $index$)\;\r
        $Found$ = $TRUE$\;\r
        \For{each node $\beta$ in $\alpha$'s two communication hops\r
    }{\r
      $Rnd_{\beta}$ = Random($ID_{\beta}$, $index$)\;\r
      \If{($Rnd_{\alpha} < Rnd_{\beta}$) \text{or} ($Rnd_{\alpha}$ ==\r
          $Rnd_{\beta}$ \text{and} $ID_{\alpha} < ID_{\beta}$)\;\r
      }{\r
        $Found$ = $FALSE$; break\;\r
      }\r
        }\r
     \eIf{$Found$}{\r
           $FreNum_{\alpha}$ = $index$\;\r
         }{\r
           $index$ ++\;\r
     }\r
      }\r
\caption{Frequency Number Computation}\r
\label{alg:one}\r
\end{algorithm}\r
\r
Bus masters are divided into two disjoint sets, $\mathcal{M}_{RT}$\r
and $\mathcal{M}_{NRT}$.\r
% description\r
\begin{description}\r
\item[RT Masters]\r
$\mathcal{M}_{RT}=\{ \vec{m}_{1},\dots,\vec{m}_{n}\}$ denotes the\r
$n$ RT masters issuing real-time constrained requests. To model the\r
current request issued by an $\vec{m}_{i}$ in $\mathcal{M}_{RT}$,\r
three parameters---the recurrence time $(r_i)$, the service cycle\r
$(c_i)$, and the relative deadline $(d_i)$---are used, with their\r
relationships.\r
\item[NRT Masters]\r
$\mathcal{M}_{NRT}=\{ \vec{m}_{n+1},\dots,\vec{m}_{n+m}\}$ is a set\r
of $m$ masters issuing nonreal-time constrained requests. In our\r
model, each $\vec{m}_{j}$ in $\mathcal{M}_{NRT}$ needs only one\r
parameter, the service cycle, to model the current request it\r
issues.\r
\end{description}\r
\r
Here, a question may arise, since each node has a global ID. Why\r
don't we just map nodes' IDs within two hops into a group of\r
frequency numbers and assign those numbers to all nodes within two\r
hops?\r
\r
\section{Simulator}\r
\label{sec:sim}\r
\r
If the model checker requests successors of a state which are not\r
created yet, the state space uses the simulator to create the\r
successors on-the-fly. To create successor states the simulator\r
conducts the following steps.\r
% enumerate\r
\begin{enumerate}\r
\item Load state into microcontroller model.\r
\item Determine assignments needed for resolving nondeterminism.\r
\item For each assignment.\r
      \begin{enumerate}\r
      \item either call interrupt handler or simulate effect of next instruction, or\r
      \item evaluate truth values of atomic propositions.\r
      \end{enumerate}\r
\item Return resulting states.\r
\end{enumerate}\r
Figure~\ref{fig:one} shows a typical microcontroller C program that\r
controls an automotive power window lift. The program is one of the\r
programs used in the case study described in Section~\ref{sec:sim}.\r
At first sight, the programs looks like an ANSI~C program. It\r
contains function calls, assignments, if clauses, and while loops.\r

\subsection{Problem Formulation}\r
\r
The objective of variable coalescence-based offset assignment is to find\r
both the coalescence scheme and the MWPC on the coalesced graph. We start\r
with a few definitions and lemmas for variable coalescence.\r
\r
% Enunciations\r
\begin{definition}[Coalesced Node (C-Node)]A C-node is a set of\r
live ranges (webs) in the AG or IG that are coalesced. Nodes within the same\r
C-node cannot interfere with each other on the IG. Before any coalescing is\r
done, each live range is a C-node by itself.\r
\end{definition}\r
\r
\begin{definition}[C-AG (Coalesced Access Graph)]The C-AG is the access\r
graph after node coalescence, which is composed of all C-nodes and C-edges.\r
\end{definition}\r
\r
\begin{lemma}\r
The C-MWPC problem is NP-complete.\r
\end{lemma}\r
\begin{proof} C-MWPC can be easily reduced to the MWPC problem assuming a\r
coalescence graph without any edge or a fully connected interference graph.\r
Therefore, each C-node is an uncoalesced live range after value separation\r
and C-PC is equivalent to PC. A fully connected interference graph is made\r
possible when all live ranges interfere with each other. Thus, the C-MWPC\r
problem is NP-complete.\r
\end{proof}\r
\r
\begin{lemma}[Lemma Subhead]The solution to the C-MWPC problem is no\r
worse than the solution to the MWPC.\r
\end{lemma}\r
\begin{proof}\r
Simply, any solution to the MWPC is also a solution to the\r
C-MWPC. But some solutions to C-MWPC may not apply to the MWPC (if any\r
coalescing were made).\r
\end{proof}\r
\r
\section{Performance Evaluation}\r
\r
During all the experiments, the Geographic Forwarding (GF)\r
[Akyildiz 2001] routing protocol is used. GF exploits geographic\r
information of nodes and conducts local data-forwarding to achieve\r
end-to-end routing. Our simulation is\r
configured according to the settings in\r
Table~\ref{tab:one}. Each run lasts for 2 minutes and\r
repeated 100 times. For each data value we present in the results,\r
we also give its 90\% confidence interval.\r

\section{Conclusions}\r
\r
In this article, we develop the first multifrequency MAC protocol for\r
WSN applications in which each device adopts a\r
single radio transceiver. The different MAC design requirements for\r
WSNs and general wireless ad-hoc networks are\r
compared, and a complete WSN multifrequency MAC design (MMSN) is\r
put forth. During the MMSN design, we analyze and evaluate different\r
choices for frequency assignments and also discuss the nonuniform\r
back-off algorithms for the slotted media access design.\r

In this appendix, we measure\r
the channel switching time of Micaz [CROSSBOW] sensor devices.\r
In our experiments, one mote alternatingly switches between Channels\r
11 and 12. Every time after the node switches to a channel, it sends\r
out a packet immediately and then changes to a new channel as soon\r
as the transmission is finished. We measure the\r
number of packets the test mote can send in 10 seconds, denoted as\r
$N_{1}$. In contrast, we also measure the same value of the test\r
mote without switching channels, denoted as $N_{2}$. We calculate\r
the channel-switching time $s$ as\r
\begin{eqnarray}%\r
s=\frac{10}{N_{1}}-\frac{10}{N_{2}}. \nonumber\r
\end{eqnarray}%\r
By repeating the experiments 100 times, we get the average\r
channel-switching time of Micaz motes: 24.3$\mu$s.\r

\section{This is an example of Appendix section head}\r
\r
Channel-switching time is measured as the time length it takes for\r
motes to successfully switch from one channel to another. This\r
parameter impacts the maximum network throughput, because motes\r
cannot receive or send any packet during this period of time, and it\r
also affects the efficiency of toggle snooping in MMSN, where motes\r
need to sense through channels rapidly.\r
\r
By repeating experiments 100 times, we get the average\r
channel-switching time of Micaz motes: 24.3 $\mu$s. We then conduct\r
the same experiments with different Micaz motes, as well as\r
experiments with the transmitter switching from Channel 11 to other\r
channels. In both scenarios, the channel-switching time does not have\r
obvious changes. (In our experiments, all values are in the range of\r
23.6 $\mu$s to 24.9 $\mu$s.)\r
\r

The primary consumer of energy in WSNs is idle listening. The key to\r
reduce idle listening is executing low duty-cycle on nodes. Two\r
