Introduction
Protocol Components
How It Works
Comparaison

Introduction
Scheduled Based protocol
Distributed and on demand
construction

Single channel
Nodes needs to be Time
Synchronized
Time deviden into
Scheduled Access
Followed by Random Access

Introduction(Contd)
Broadcast and Receive the
schedule/two hop
neighbourhood information
Periodic Operation

So one can sleep and wake

up peacefully.God bless

Protocol Components
Protocol Consist three
subparts
Neighbourhood Protocol
Schedule Exchange Protocol
Adaptive Election Algorithm

Protocol Components(Contd..)
Neighbourhood Protocol

Executed in Random
Fashion,No channel
sensing,Broadcasted
Transmitted packet contains
Node`s Identification
Incremental neighborhood
information
that is only those neighbor
identifications are included that
belong to new neighbors or
neighbors that were missing
during the last cycle

Protocol Components(Contd..)
Schedule Exchange Protocol

Transmit its current

transmission schedule
in which time slots it transmits
to which neighbor

Picks up its neighbors

schedules
Used to actually allocate
slots to transmitters and
receivers

Protocol Components(Contd..)
Adaptive Election Algorithm

Sometimes it is possible that

there are some slots which
are reserved by some
nodes,but not used.
allowing nodes to reuse their
neighbors unused winning
slots
So the channel is utilized
more effectively.
Afterall nobody should sit

Comparasion
As opposed to S-MAC, the energy
savings of TRAMA depend on the load
situation, while in S-MAC it depends on
the duty cycle.
TDMA based have higher delays but
also higher maximum throughput than
contention-based protocols.
The TRAMA protocol needs significant
computation and memory in dense
sensor networks since the two-hop
neighborhood of a node tends to be
large in this case.TRAMA is a feasible
solution only if the sensor nodes have
sufficient resources.
