چکیده
IEEE 802.15.4 is a new standard uniquely designed for low rate wireless sensor networks(WSNs). It targets low data rate, low power consumption and low cost wireless networking, and offers device level wireless connectivity. In this paper, the general coordinated sleeping algorithm and the traffic-adaptive algorithm are combined in IEEE 802.15.4 MAC protocol to achieve high energy efficiency and high performance at the same time. By observing that the sporadic traffic characteristic of WSNs, we propose the traffic-adaptive IEEE 802.15.4 MAC with coordinated sleeping algorithm. Through the various performance studies, the proposed algorithm shows significant performance improvements in wireless sensor networks.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of sensor nodes with limited energy. Energy efficiency is an important issue in WSNs as the sensor nodes are deployed in rugged and non-care areas and consume a lot of energy to send data to the central station or sink if they want to communicate directly with the sink. Recently, the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol is employed as a low-power, low-cost, and low rat...

In wireless body area networks (WBANs), various sensors and actuators are placed on/inside the human body and connected wirelessly. WBANs have specific requirements for healthcare and medical applications, hence, standard protocols like the IEEE 802.15.4 cannot fulfill all the requirements. Consequently, many medium access control (MAC) protocols, mostly derived from the IEEE 802.15.4 superfram...
