CRMAC : A Energy-efficient and Low-latency MAC Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks
Qiu Zhao-cun · Journal of Chongqing University of Science and Technology · 2008
Taking account of the demand of wireless sensor networks(WSN),the article provides a energy-efficient and low-latency MAC protocol:CRMAC(channel reservation mac protocol).This protocol divides the time of working into channel reservation time and data transmission time.In reservation time,the node which need send data notifies others and make a data transmission schedule.In data transmission time,only scheduled nodes are awake and others remain sleeping.
