“…The asynchronous versions use low-power listening(LPL) or its preamble-shortened approach to match up the transmission period between transmitter and receiver end, such as B-MAC, WiseMac, X-MAC, SCP-MAC [23], Ri-MAC [19] and so on. Among them, [7,9,8] compared the power dissipation between asynchronous and synchronous contention-based protocol. In which, LPL method is interesting in very low traffic intensity (less than one packet per day) or dynamically changing topologies.…”

Parking sensor network is rapidly deploying around the world and is regarded as one of the first implemented urban services in smart cities. To provide the best network performance, the MAC protocol shall be adaptive enough in order to satisfy the traffic intensity and variation of parking sensors. In this paper, we study the heavy-tailed parking and vacant time models from SmartSantander, and then we apply the traffic model in the simulation with four different kinds of MAC protocols, that is, contention-based, schedulebased and two hybrid versions of them. The result shows that the packet interarrival time is no longer heavy-tailed while collecting a group of parking sensors, and then choosing an appropriate MAC protocol highly depends on the network configuration. Also, the information delay is bounded by traffic and MAC parameters which are important criteria while the timely message is required.

“…The new protocols introduced in this paper have been optimized with an exploration of their parameters that is presented in the following. Results are presented using a set of metrics suitable for both the asynchronous "Medium Access Control" (MAC) layer [1] and the delay tolerant "Logical Link Control" (LLC) level. The adopted evaluation metrics are the following: -Delivery Probability: the ratio between the number of successfully delivered data packets and the number of packets generated by source nodes.…”

This article focuses on delay tolerant protocols for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications, considering both established and new protocols. We obtained a comparison of their characteristics by implementing all of them on an original platform for network simulation, and by testing their behavior on a common test-bench. Thereafter, matching the requirements linked to each application with the performances achieved in the test-bench, allowed us to define an application oriented protocol selection guide.

“…Constraints (3), (4), (5) and (6) are both equal to one, which requires several constraints to be modeled using ILP (see [19] for a modeling of the product of two binary variables). Constraint (7) states that the path from a direct child of sink to sink cannot be broken, as sink is always active (i.e., in all groups). Finally, Constraint (8) states that for the other nodes x, the path from x to sink is broken if the link (x, f ather[x]) is broken, or if the path from f ather[x] to sink is broken.…”

In many synchronized MAC protocols for wireless sensor networks such as IEEE 802.15.4 in beaconenabled mode, periods where all the nodes are active alternate with periods where all the nodes are inactive. This approach is used in order to save the energy of nodes as they are powered by small batteries. However, having all nodes active simultaneously can yield to congestion, which increases the packet loss rate and the delay. In this paper, we propose a new MAC scheduling mechanism that distributes the activities of nodes into several periods, thus reducing the number of active nodes during each period. The scheduling is based on the routing information provided by the network layer. We propose an heuristic to compute this schedule, and we derive a protocol with limited overhead. We compare their performance with the performance of IEEE 802.15.4 where all nodes are active simultaneously, as well as with the optimal solution computed using an integer linear program. The simulation results show that our heuristic can greatly improve both packet loss rate and delay in a large variety of scenarios without increasing the energy consumption.
