Virtual Clustered MAC Layer Protocol Design of a Wireless Sensor Network: ES-MAC

Abstract:

Sensor-MAC (S-MAC), one kind of use common type activities / sleep cycle wireless sensor network MAC layer protocol, we propose a strengthening type Enhanced S-MAC, called ES-MAC, and part of its application in wireless sensor networks than the outer layer of low traffic. ES-MAC is divided into three stages: the first stage is to create a virtual cluster region and preset transmission path; third stage of data transfer; second stage of data collection and sorting. Sensing node virtual cluster in the region, competitive manner using micro slot (Mini-Slot) determine the order of data transmission. In the data transfer phase has been established using the sequential transfer of data, the sense node in order to reduce the unnecessary and excessive collision monitoring, sleep time, and the growth of nodes. Simulation results show that, ES-MAC under different flow and different cycles, compared with S-MAC has lower average packet delay time.
