Abstract
Energy conservation is a key design issue for a battery-limited wireless sensor network (WSN). Compared with non-cooperative communication, cooperative communication can significantly reduce the total transmit power, because of the introducing space diversity. First, theoretical analysis for the total transmission power of non-cooperative communication and cooperative communication under the bit error rate (BER) constraint of the destiny node is presented. Then, the relay selection strategy aiming to select the best relay node, which leads to the minimal total transmit power, is discussed. On the base of these works, we propose a distributed cooperative MAC protocol to lengthen the network lifetime. The channel state informations (CSIs) are estimated according to the strength of control packets. In this protocol, a helper ready to send (HTS) packet is introduced and the packet format of clear to send (CTS) is extended. Simulations show that the new MAC protocol can effectively save the energy and lengthen the network lifetime.
