53.4.2 MAC Layer
MaCARI [CGM08,LVV08] is the MAC layer specied in OCARI. It supports both time-constrained
communication
and slotted CSMA/CA communication as depicted by Figure 53.11.
e
design
of
MaCARI
is
based
on
a
cross-layering
approach.
It
proposes
a
tree-based
strategy
of
packets
relaying
with
deterministic
activities
schedule
to
reduce
possible
collision.
In
MaCARI,
the
PAN
coordinator
schedules
the
cells
activity
and
xes
the
beacons
broadcasting
sequence.
