In this deliverable we present a systematic approach towards designing modularized protocols and rank a contribution of their components to the overall system performance. In the nutshell, this approach is based onthree steps: 1.) identifying adjustable parameters in existing protocols, 2.) ranking their influence on the system-level performance metrics and 3.) defining protocol modules exposing the parameters of the highest rank. To this end we present the definition of the components for constructing MAC protocols based on ranking of the impact of adjustable parameters on the overall system performance. We also overview a ranking method for functional blocks of protocols on the routing layer.
