Hybrid MAC(HMAC) Protocol Considering Throughput in Wireless Sensor Networks
Jinyoung Lee, Seong-Cheol Kim · The Journal of the Korean Institute of Information and Communication Engineering · 2007
In this paper we propose a Hybrid MAC(HMAC) to enhance the transmission throughput in Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs). In the proposed HMAC, sender nodes send transmission request packets to the receiver nodes using CSMA/CA MAC protocol. And the receiver node assigns slots according to the network topology and the amount of traffics using TDMA. Using HMAC we get the enhanced throughput by lowering the duplicated slot assignment.
