Time-slot scheduling algorithm based on weighted traffic load in wireless sensor networks
Juan Ye · Journal of Computer Applications · 2007
An energy-efficient adaptive time-slot scheduling algorithm(EATA)based on clustering for MAC protocol of wireless sensor networks was described.In this algorithm,the cluster head adjusts the time-slot of nodes according to their weighted traffic load in a proper order and frequency,thus the idle listening was reduced,and the energy consumption balancing among nodes was achieved with a low latency.Simulation results show that the algorithm EATA improves the network energy usability and increases networks lifetime.
