Abstract:
In this paper, we introduce H-MAC, a hybrid medium access control protocol for wireless sensor networks. H-MAC combines the power-saving mechanism (PSM) from IEEE 802.11 with slotted Aloha, dynamically utilizing multiple slots to enhance performance. While existing MAC protocols for sensor networks reduce energy consumption through active/sleep cycle variations, they often fail to maintain energy efficiency under varying traffic conditions and do not address Quality of Service (QoS) issues. H-MAC, on the other hand, ensures both energy efficiency and QoS aspects such as latency, throughput, and channel utilization. Our numerical results demonstrate that H-MAC significantly improves QoS parameters compared to existing MAC protocols for sensor networks, while consuming a comparable amount of energy.
