Research on comparison between TDMA MAC protocols and improvement for wireless sensor networks
Chen Lan-la · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2010
The different MAC protocols play an important role in lifetime for WSNs.In order to obtain a certain MAC protocol in a specific environment,the analysis to a variety of MAC protocol is necessary.The differences of TDMA schedule-based MAC are discussed,starting with frame structure.An improved scheme is proposed to deal with problems of a low data throughput and a tight implementation in existing TDMA MAC protocols.And three TDMA MAC protocols based on LEACH are simulated,the simulating result corresponds with data analysis.
