An energy-efficient mac protocol with random listen-sleep schedule for wireless sensor networks
Sung-Chan Choi, Jang-Won Lee, Yeonsoo Kim, Hakjin Chong · 2007
In this paper, we propose an energy efficient MAC protocol for wireless sensor networks. Since sensor nodes are equipped with a limited energy of batteries, reducing energy consumption is a critical issue for extending network lifetime. To resolve this issue, we adopt a listen-sleep cycle as in S-MAC
