Rearch on S-MAC——An Energy-constrained MAC Protocol for WSNs
Lequn Liu · Modern Electronics Technique · 2008
Energy consumption is the primary goal of the rearch on wirless sensor networks,also one of the important performance parameters.Survival cycle of the node in wirless sensor networks is depended upon the energy consumption.The article analyzes the energy consumption of the nodes in networks,discusses the energy consumption management and energy conservation measurement of MAC layer in Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs)as to its low rate feature,and then it also introduces S-MAC protocol from periodic sleep and listening,avoidance of conflict and crosstalk,and message passing,so the rationality and usability of S-MAC in energy conservation of WSNs are explained.
