This paper presents a novel cross-layer anycast medium access control (MAC) protocol for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) based on advanced preamble propagation and geographic routing. The protocol aims at reducing the sleep-delay problem, common in asynchronous preamble-based MAC protocols. When a packet is ready to be transmitted, differently from other state-of-the-art protocols, the preamble sequence...
The Medium Access Control (MAC) layer can influence the energy consumption of a wireless sensor network (WSN) to a significant level. TR-MAC is an energy-efficient preamble sampling based MAC protocol for low power WSNs suitable for low data rate and low duty cycle scenario. However, low data rate is not always maintained in wireless sensor networks which often have to deal with event-driven scenarios...
In wireless sensor network studies the main objective is minimizing the energy consumption so that the lifetime is maximized under the limited battery capacity constraints. In most event-driven surveillance applications, the end-to-end delay should also be minimized. In this paper we present a new EDO-MAC (energy and delay optimization Media Access Control) which reaches a good balance between energy...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of a lot of sensor nodes with limited battery, memory, and processing capability. Therefore, in WSNs, effective MAC protocol is required to maximize battery life of sensor nodes, to reduce transmission delay, and to minimize communication errors. Routing enhanced MAC (RMAC) uses the path information on network layer so that multi-hop transmission within a cycle...
The hostile seawater channel condition poses research challenges of designing reliable and efficient communication protocols for underwater acoustic sensor networks. Especially, long propagation delay of acoustic waves in water makes networks poor performance. Due to low channel utilization of traditional TDMA protocol, in this paper, we present a new medium access control (MAC) protocol called I-TDMA,...
Future application areas of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) may include industrial process automation, aircraft control systems or patient monitoring in hospitals. Such applications require predictable quality of service in terms of message transfer delay and reliability. Performance of WSN data transport is to a large extent defined by the employed medium access control (MAC) protocol. Currently,...
