Abstract:

To provide better support in differentiated service for IEEE 802.15.4,a novel differentiated service mechanism was proposed based on BCS(back off counter scheme)and reinforcement learning.In terms of end-device,BCS backoff strategy was added to original priority-based differentiated strategy to solve the service differentiation problem under higher traffic condition.Whil “ e for the coordinator,a reinforcement learning based duty-cycle adjustment algorithm was proposed toself-learning”an optimal duty-cycle according to different application requirements and environmental changes.Simulation shows that the proposed algorithm can meet the performance requirements of high-priority service under different environments and adjust the duty-cycle when traffic is changed,which showed a strong environmental adaptability.

Key words: IEEE 802.15.4/LR-WPAN, differentiated-service, BCS, reinforcement-learning, duty-cycle
