IRI-MAC: An Improved Receiver Initiated MAC Protocol for 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 ...

SA-RI-MAC: Sender-Assisted Receiver-Initiated Asynchronous Duty Cycle MAC Protocol for Dynamic Traffic Loads in Wireless Sensor Networks

Duty cycling is an efficient mechanism to conserve energy in wireless sensor networks. Several existing duty cycling techniques have been proposed to conserve energy, but they are not able to handle the contention under dynamic traffic loads. In this paper we propose a protocol called Sender-Assisted-Receiver-Initiated MAC (SA-RI-MAC) which solves this problem without sacrificing the energy eff...

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....

RR-MAC: Receiver Reservation MAC Protocol with Time- Division for Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensors networks are potentially employed in various fields such as defense system, target tracking, target monitoring, wildlife monitoring and disaster management. The node’s of a wireless sensor network consists of three main partsprocessor, transmitter/receiver and memory unit. For these parts to be operational in an efficient way, the battery power of the nodes must be prolonged an...
