An energy efficient hybrid MAC protocol for smart home networks
Atul Kumar Pandey, Nisha Gupta · Serbian Journal of Electrical Engineering · 2021
In this paper cluster-based hybrid MAC (CB-HMAC) protocol, based on IEEE 802.15.4 MAC is proposed for smart home networks. The CB-HMAC is specially designed for short packet transmission in a dense home network environment. Simulation results show that the proposed CB-HMAC is more energy-efficient than other medium access control (MAC) protocols without sacrificing much delay and throughput.
