Since wireless sensor networks consist of nodes with the constrained battery, energy efficient MAC operation is one of the important issues. Low duty cycle operation is critical to conserve energy in wireless sensor network MAC protocol. Some paper proposed a new approach to low power listening, which employs a short preamble to further reduce energy consumption and to reduce latency. But short preamble suffers from unfair channel access problem since there was no consideration for contention between transmission nodes. Preamble counting proposes a solution to each of these problems by employing node selection information. Simulation results show that the preamble counting provides an improved energy efficiency and fairness of packet delivery.

The effective channel usage is important for delivering a large number of packets in a short time, and it enhances channel utilization in sensor networks. Channel utilization is a good metric to illustrate MAC protocol efficiency. This paper presents the MAC(Media Access Control) Protocol that combines the advantages of B-MAC(Berkeley-MAC) and TDMA(Time Division Multiple Access) to obtain high channel utilization. Basically, Using the backoff, CCA(Clear Channel Assessment) and LPL(Low Power Listen) mechanisms reduce collision and energy consumption, this protocol makes at the same time transmission method different depending on contention state and obtains high channel utilization. Through the simulation, this paper shows enhanced performance comparing with existing MAC Protocols.

In this paper, we present an energy efficient MAC protocol for WSN(Wireless Sensor Networks). WSN is a self organized network to collect environmental data by small size sensor nodes which consist of wireless communication unit, MPU, sensing module etc.. In the WSN, such sensor nodes operate with limited energy and how efficient use this network has been debated recently. Therefore. we present a method to consume energy equaly by modifying existing S-MAC for efficient scheduling and data transmission.

고정된 duty-cycle을 갖는 S-MAC 프로토콜은 노드 A에서 B로 메시지를 전송 후, 노드 C는 에너지 효율을 위해 스케줄 된 수면구간 상태이다. 따라서 노드 C는 노드 B로부터의 메시지를 수신 할 수가 없게 된다. 따라서 지연(delay)이 발생하게 된다. 반면 제안하는 프로토콜은 평상시에 Bit정보가 00으로 설정되어 있어, 에너지 효율에 중점을 둔 S-MAC과 비슷한 동작을 하다가 설정한 설정치를 넘길 때마다 Bit정보에 변화를 주어 전송해야 할 메시지의 우선순위가 높다고 판단하여 프레임크기와 활성구간의 크기에 변화를 주어 지연시간을 줄이게 된다. 사용자 입장에서 우선순위가 높은 메시지라 함은 예를 들어 불이 발생 했을 경우 노드에서 감지되는 높은 온도 값이 이에 해당되고 반면 우선순위가 낮은 메시지는 노드에서 감지되는 낮은 온도 값이 이에 해당된다. 사용자 입장에서 감시해야 할 온도, 압력, 수위와 같은 환경변수에 설정치를 설정하여 상황에 따라 지연시간과 에너지 소모를 선택적으로 유연하게 조절하여 지연시간을 개선시키는 MAC 프로토콜을 제안한다.

In order to reduce end-to-end delay in EH-WSN (energy harvestin wireless sensor netowk), medium access control protocols using multi-hop routing technique have been studied. In a real environment, there are many situations where it is difficult to harvest enough energy than the energy consumed. Therefore, it is required to design a MAC protocol that allows nodes to reliably relay data without exhausting power in multi-hop transmission. In this paper, we propose a power-efficient MAC protocol that can select the relay node according to the residual power and the energy collection rate to increase network lifetime.

In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient MAC(Medium Access Control) protocol for processing context information in ubiquitous sensor network environments. CASMAC(Context Aware Sensor MAC) use context information for energy-efficient operation and its operation principle is as follows. First, we make scenarios with possible prediction for CASMAC. And then we save setted context information in server. When event occur at specific sensor node, and then it send three times sample data to server. According to context information, server process sample data. If server process sample data with event, it receive continuous data from event occur node by a transmission request signal. And then server send data transmission stop signal to event occur node when it do not need to data. If server process sample data with no event, it have not reply. Through we make energy consumption tables and an energy consumption model, we simulate analysis of CASMAC performance. In a result, we gains about 5.7 percents energy reduction compared to SMAC.

본 논문에서는 휴면 지연에 의한 전송지연을 줄이는 효과적인 방법으로 staggered schedule 방식에 기반하여 동작하는 SPEED-MAC 프로토콜을 제안하고자 한다. SPEED-MAC은 이벤트 발생에 따른 정보를 발생사실과 세부정보로 나누어 각각 이벤트 공지 구간과 데이터 전송 구간에 싱크 노드로 전송함으로써 이벤트 발생 사실을 싱크 노드에게 최단시간에 전송할 수 있다. 또한 제어 패킷의 오버헤드를 줄이기 위해 이벤트 공지 구간에서 signal 패킷을 사용함으로써 데이터 패킷을 전송할 때 발생 가능한 충돌을 예측하였고 제어 패킷을 동적으로 사용하여 노드의 에너지 효율성을 추가로 개선할 수 있게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 SPEED-MAC을 MICA MOTE에서 구현하였으며 기존의 MAC 프로토콜에 비하여 메시지 전송 지연시간을 대폭 단축시킬 수 있었으며 또한 저 전력을 구현할 수 있는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we proposed an efficient TDMA scheduling algorithm for a clustered Wireless Sensor Network. Since some previous algorithms used unnecessary idle period and schedule period in each frame. It became an overhead that might consume unexpected energy and delay data transmission. To solve this problem, a dynamic scheduling algorithm according to the number of member nodes and node traffic load within a cluster was suggested. Our proposed DS-MAC(Dynamic Scheduling MAC) could save energy and reduce transmission delay Then DS-MAC was analyzed mathematically to compare with the previous algorithms.

The communication in wireless sensor network is divided into several layers, because of each of them do their role, the wireless communication is possible, the MAC (Medium Access Control) layer of the one of sensor network communications layer is used to the data errors, control flow, and manage resources. Using MAC Protocol, it ensures the communication between sensor node. In this paper, highlighted the energy efficiency of the S-MAC, T-MAC protocol it emphasized the efficiency of energy by lessening the woken time of all nods effectively, transmitting and receiving the control packet on only necessary nods through use of a method that RTS packet is added to SYNC packet and making other nods sleep. On sending SYNC+RTS packet and receiving the packet, nod noticed that it wasn't necessary to be awaked on this period, would be in Sleep mode, demonstrated mathematically that energy is more effective than existing protocol, and simulated with MATLAB.

In this paper, we focus on the problem of designing an energy efficient MAC protocol for wireless sensor networks and analyze S(Sensor)-MAC and T(Time-out)-MAC. S-MAC is based on the concept of the 'listen/sleep mode cycle'. This applies message passing to reduce contention latency for sensor-network applications that require store-and-forward processing as data moves through the network. However unlike the S-MAC, where the duration of the cycle is fixed, T-MAC introduces an adaptive duty cycle in a novel way: by dynamical ending the active part of it. This reduces the amount of energy wasted on idle listening, in which nodes wait for potentially incoming messages while still maintaining a reasonable throughput. In this paper we discuss the design of these two Protocols. We analyze them from the aspect of latency, throughput, and power savings when using the OMNeT++ simulator in various environments.
