An Analytical Model for Power Control T-MAC Protocol
V Ramchand, Daya Krishan Lobiyal · International Journal of Computer Applications · 2010
This paper presents a Power Control T-MAC protocol that combines the features from S-MAC and T-MAC protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN).This protocol has been proposed to reduce the energy consumption of a node.In WSN a node consumes energy in transmitting and receiving of data, listening transmissions of other nodes, and in sleep mode.Therefore, energy consumption of a node has been estimated by adding up the energy consumed in each of the above activity.This has been achieved by estimating the time spent in each activity by a node.The proposed protocol has been simulated using NS-2.The simulation results of Power Control T-MAC shows better energy savings as compared to T-MAC and S-MAC protocol.
