Abstract
This paper presents BANY, a novel low latency, low power listening MAC protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks. WSNs are employed in data collection side of IoT systems, in order to acquire environmental data and send it to a data-base. BANY is a duty-cycled asynchronous protocol based on preamble sampling with short duration, as B-MAC+. In order to establish communication between two nodes, this protocol uses preamble with the duration of a cycle time to ensure that the forwarder will be awake to receive the data packet. This increases considerably the sleep-delay problem. BANY eases this phenomenon by reducing the preamble duration to a small part of the cycle time. Anycast communication pattern is employed to increase the probability that a possible forwarder is awake after the reduced preamble. Differently from most asynchronous MAC protocols, the channel is probed for activity during a very short interval, reducing the idle network energy consumption. Simulation results shown that BANY achieved smaller end-to-end latency in the majority of the tested scenarios.
