Analysis and Comparison of SMAC and TMAC Protocol for Energy Efficient Dynamic Topology in Sensor Network

Abstract

<p>In the era of wireless communication, wireless sensor is one of the best technologies we are witnessing. In case of environmental monitoring, tactical systems and different tracking applications, wireless sensors are being used. Here, the corresponding nodes operate on incomplete power and thus the energy comes into play to operate these entire networks. Managing the energy and its utilization is vital for TCP/IP protocol suite which is MAC layer’s application. Thus keeping in mind the above challenges, the techniques used are increasing the sleep duration, over hearing and ideal listening, collision of packet and eliminating hidden terminal problem. This paper is oriented towards the comparison of energy consumption by SMAC and TMAC protocol. The characteristics of TMAC and SMAC protocols were explored keeping real transmission conditions intact, like variable transmission bit rate, dynamic topology and mobile sensors in network. TMAC and SMAC protocols are contention based protocols and are designed to keep the energy consumption low using duty cycle.</p>

A Survey of Secured Cluster Head: SCH Based Routing Scheme for IOT Based Mobile Wireless Sensor Network

“…A mobile basestaion has mobility though the sensor region remains on varying its position and broadcast with the CH for information gathering. SMAC: Sensor MAC [23]. Sensor MAC is a MAC approach normally used in WSN for energy economy and contains recompense such as collision prevention and scalability.…”

SMAC-Based WSN Protocol-Current State of the Art, Challenges, and Future Directions

“…e size of headers and trailers can sometimes contribute to energy waste [138]. MAC protocols are intended to ensure the quantitative measures of quality of service such as channel fairness, network throughput, delay/latency, scalability, and robustness [139] in WSN applications. Although primitive MAC protocols such as ALOHA and CSMA do an excellent job of avoiding packet collisions, the best way to reduce energy waste is to use low duty cycling.…”

Performance Analysis of IEEE 802.15.4 Transceiver System under Adaptive White Gaussian Channel

“…These sensors are small in size and able to sense, process data, and communicate with each other over an RF (radio frequency) channel. A sensor network is designed to detect events or phenomena, collect and process data, and transmit sensed information for the intended users [1], [2].These networks have the potential of interfacing the physical world with the virtual (computing) world in an unprecedented scale and provide practical usefulness in developing a large number of applications, including the protection of civil infrastructures [3], habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, toxic gas detection, supply chain management, and health care [4].…”
