Efficient MAC Adaptive Protocol on Wireless Sensor Network

Game Theory based Energy Efficient Hybrid MAC Protocol for Lifetime Enhancement of Wireless Sensor Network

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) comprising of tiny, power-constrained nodes are getting very popular due to their potential uses in wide applications like monitoring of environmental conditions, various military and civilian applications. The critical issue in the node is energy consumption since it is operated using battery, therefore its lifetime should be maximized for effective utilization ...

Energy-efficient Wireless Sensor Network MAC Protocol

Efficient Mac Protocol Design for Wireless Sensor

The past two decades have seen increasing interests in the field of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), which have potential applications covering all aspects of the human life. The major issue in WSNs is power conservation since wireless sensors are usually battery-powered. In a typical sensor node, the wireless interface consumes the largest share of the power budget. Hence, an energy efficient ...

Wireless Sensor Network MAC Protocol: SMAC & TMAC

Wireless sensor networks is an emergent technology which has made Ambient Intelligence a reality. It consists of several tiny nodes connected to each other in Ad hoc environment and coordinate with each other to form a network. It has wide range of applications, potential in areas such as intruder alert and tracking, environmental monitoring, industrial process monitoring, and tactical systems....

FTA-MAC: Fast Traffic Adaptive Energy Efficient MAC Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

This paper presents the FTA-MAC (Fast Traffic Adaptive MAC) protocol, a novel energy-efficient MAC protocol based on asynchronous duty cycling for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In FTA-MAC protocol, the communication between the sensor nodes is initiated by sending a wake-up beacon from the receiving node. The latter fast adapts its wake-up interval according to the traffic rate in order to r...
