چکیده

Introducing duty cycling in the MAC protocol used in wireless sensor networks has been proven to be an efficient way of prolonging the battery lifetime of the sensor nodes because idle listening is a high energy consumption factor. This concept has been proven efficient in the existing energy-efficient MAC protocols, including receiver-initiated MAC (RI-MAC). In this paper, we further enhance the RI-MAC protocol by introducing an asynchronous duty cycling method, in which the wakeup and sleep periods of a sender are alternating in order to reduce the wakeup period and so the energy efficient can be further improved. This method is called energy-efficient receiver-initiated asynchronous duty cycle MAC protocol (EE-RI-MAC). Specifically, the EE-RI-MAC protocol attempts to reduce the duty-cycle of a sender by adding sleep periods during ideal listening when the wakeup period is longer that certain value. From extensive simulation, it shows that the EE-RI-MAC achieves 17% higher energy efficiency that RI-MAC with the same throughput under a wide range of traffic loads, with a small increase in the delay period.

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...

Asynchronous Hybrid Duty Cycle MAC Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

Energy conversation is one of the primary objectives of duty cycle MAC protocols. Different synchronous and asynchronous duty cycle MAC protocols have been proposed in recent years. These protocols perform well under low traffic loads, but efficiency of these protocols degrade under high traffic loads. We present an asynchronous hybrid duty cycle MAC protocol called Hybrid MAC (H-MAC), which us...

TA-MAC: A Traffic-Adaptive MAC Protocol for Asynchronous Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless Sensor Network MAC protocols usually employ periodic sleep and wakeup, achieving low dutycycle to save energy and to increase the lifetime of batterypowered sensor devices. Previously proposed PW-MAC (Predictive Wakeup MAC) protocol is based on asynchronous duty cycling. PW-MAC minimizes sensor node energy consumption by enabling senders to predict receiver′s wakeup times. However, PW-...
