An Energy-Efficient MAC Protocol For Wireless Sensor Networks
An Energy-Efficient MAC Protocol For Wireless Sensor Networks
PAMAS
avoids the overhearings among neighboring nodes
requires two independent radio channels
does not address the issue of reducing idle listening
TDMA based protocols
Advantages
energy conservation when compared to contention
based as the duty cycle of the radio is reduced and no
contention overhead
Problems
Requires nodes to form real communication clusters
and managing inter-cluster communication is difficult
It is not easy to change the slot assignment
dynamically, hence scalability is not as good as
contention based
S-MAC
Tries to reduce wastage of energy from all
four sources of energy inefficiency
Collision by using RTS and CTS
Overhearing by switching the radio off when
the transmission is not meant for that node
Control overhead by message passing
Idle listening by periodic listen and sleep
Trades-off fairness, high channel
utilization and low delays for reduced
energy
Network assumptions
