Abstract

In this paper, we extend the routing enhanced MAC (RMAC) protocol to combine wireless sensor network (WSN) technology with energy-efficiency and quality of service (QoS) guarantee transmission scheduling mechanisms. This energy-efficient QoS-aware scheduling over multi-hopping WSNs is called adaptive multi-hopping MAC (AMH-MAC). Based on the RMAC scheme, we further adjust the transmitted power and the number of multi-hopping nodes dynamically to reduce the transmission latency and energy consumption. We conduct the simulation using network simulator 2 (ns-2) to show the improvement of the performance in terms of end to end latency and energy consumption as compared with RMAC scheme.
