Analysis and simulation of an improved adaptive A-MAC algorithm
Yuqiang Sun · Information technology newsletter · 2010
MAC protocols for wireless sensor networks(WSN) can exploit listen/sleep cycles to save energy.The relationship of the listen/sleep cycles and network performances is analyzed.An adaptive schedule medium access control(AS-MAC) for WSN is researched,which can adjust the wake-up cycle and the phase when traffic is changing dynamically.Simulations validate that the protocol can decrease the latency,improve the throughput and energy efficiency when traffic is dynamic.
