{"title":"Energy Efficiency of Adaptive-Rate Medium Access Control Protocols for Sensor Networks","authors":"Rooholah Hasanizadeh, Saadan Zokaei","volume":19,"journal":"International Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering","pagesStart":1462,"pagesEnd":1467,"ISSN":"1307-6892","URL":"https:\/\/publications.waset.org\/pdf\/380","abstract":"Energy efficient protocol design is the aim of current\nresearches in the area of sensor networks where limited power\nresources impose energy conservation considerations. In this paper\nwe care for Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols and after an\nextensive literature review, two adaptive schemes are discussed. Of\nthem, adaptive-rate MACs which were introduced for throughput\nenhancement show the potency to save energy, even more than\nadaptive-power schemes. Then we propose an allocation algorithm\nfor getting accurate and reliable results. Through a simulation study\nwe validated our claim and showed the power saving of adaptive-rate\nprotocols.","references":"[1] K. Akkaya and M.
