Abstract

Research in the area of Wireless Sensor Networks has taken tremendous growth due to its wide applications spanning from health monitoring, environmental monitoring and tactical systems. The tiny nodes equipped with low batter power and computation power collaborate to sense the parameters and communicate to the base station. The contention in the channel demands the design of efficient MAC protocols that can save the battery power and reduce the data loss during transmission while are used in various fields. Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocols, are at the lower layers of WSNs' protocol stack. They have a greater influence on performance and energy consumption of the network. Sensor MAC (SMAC) is one of the oldest and most widely used MAC protocol for WSN. There exists few variations of SMAC, but still the research is going on to modify this protocol in order to support real time traffic while making it more energy efficient. The current work plans to find the drawbacks of SMAC and to make it more energy efficient.

无线传感器网络的动态竞争MAC协议

由于无线传感器网络在健康监测、环境监测和战术系统等领域的广泛应用，其研究得到了极大的发展。具有低功耗和低计算能力的微小节点协同感知参数并与基站通信。信道的竞争要求设计高效的MAC协议，以节省电池电量和减少传输过程中的数据丢失，并在各个领域得到应用。介质访问控制(MAC)协议是无线传感器网络协议栈的底层。它们对网络的性能和能耗影响较大。传感器MAC (Sensor MAC, SMAC)是无线传感器网络中最古老、应用最广泛的MAC协议之一。SMAC存在一些变体，但研究仍在继续修改该协议，以支持实时流量，同时使其更节能。目前的工作计划是找出SMAC的缺点，并使其更节能。
