Abstract

This paper presents a MAC protocol which uses separate wakeup slots for each sensor node in sensor networks. Most MAC protocols proposed for sensor network are inefficient under heavy traffic loads, in particular in high density network topology because of frequent collisions and long sleep latency. In this paper, we suggest a MAC protocol in which each node has a different wakeup schedule in the same duty cycle, and it joins the competition only for its own short wakeup slot when the receiver is ready to receive its data. Simulation results indicate that our scheme can reduce energy consumption and minimize idle listening which increases the power efficiency.
