Abstract

sensor node work limited energy. It is undesirable or impossible to replace the batteries that are depleted of energy because of characteristics of the sensor network. Due to the specific energy constrained environment, MAC design for sensor networks generally has to take energy consumption as one of its primary concerns. But in sensor networks, latency has been a key factor affecting the applicability of sensor networks to some delay-sensitive applications. Therefore, we propose MAC protocols based DSMAC in this paper. Which is able to dynamically change the sleeping and duty cycle of sensors is adjusted to adapt to packet amounts in buffer. Proposed MAC has energy efficiency and low latency, compared DSMAC.

센서 노드는 제한된 에너지를 가지고 동작한다. 대부분의 경우에, 에너지가 고간된 배터리를 교체하거나 재충전하는 것은 바람직하지 않거나 불가능하다. 따라서 MAC프로토콜 디자인에서 에너지 소모를 줄이는 것은 매우 중요한 문제 중 하나이다. 하지만, 센서 응용이 지연에 민감할 경우, 지연이 매우 중요한 요소이고, 이 지연은 에너지 소비와 트레이드오프하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 에너지 소모를 줄이고, 낮은 지연을 얻을 수 있는 MAC프로토콜을 제안한다. 이 프로토콜은 DSMAC을 기반으로, 동적으로 경로 사이의 상대적인 buffer의 패킷의 양에 따라서 duty cycle를 변경하게 된다.
