Wireless Sensor Network

Create MAC protocol simulation implementation for


wireless sensor Network.
Aim:
To create MAC protocol simulation for a Wireless Sensor network

Software Used:
Cisco Packet Tracer 7.2.0.0226

Theory:
Consider the following topology, we use some wireless hosts instead of Wireless sensors. The
working in both the cases is same

Smart phones and Tablet have a wireless interface by default, while the laptop does not has a wireless
interface, we need to add the interface in all the laptops, adding the wireless interface to each Laptops as
follows

Copy the MAC address of each component as follows

We note the following MAC addresses and convert them to the following form

Component MAC Address Converted


MAC address
Laptop0 000A.F3B4.7CDC 00:0A:F3:B4:7C:DC

Laptop1 0001.4269.6539 00:01:42:69:65:39

Laptop2 0060.5CB8.B919 00:60:5C:B8:B9:19

TabletPC 000C.8558.6B7B 00:0C:85:58:6B:7B

SmartPhone0 00D0.9774.32BD 00:D0:97:74:32:BD

SmartPhone1 0060.701E.0BE0 00:60:70:1E:0B:E0

Now we add few addresses in the wireless MAC filter of the Wireless Routerand then use the
given options for either allow or deny the Wireless access

As seen in above screen shot we add the MAC address of Laptop0, TabletPC, SmartPhone0 in the
list so as to deny them accessing the Wireless network and then save the settings

The result so obtained is as shown; the three devices denied any wireless connectivity

Similarly we can change the setting so that the above devices get wireless connectivity and the
remaining devices do not get the wireless connectivity

And save the setting and get the following
