Energy efficient MAC protocol with reducing redundant packet mechanism in wireless sensor networks

초록

Wireless Sensor Networks are the technology, in which various applications such as surveillance and information gathering are possible in the uncontrollable area of human. And numerous studies are being processed for the application of ubiquitous network environment. One of major issues in sensor network is the research for prolonging the lifetime of nodes through the use of various algorithms, suggested in the mac and routing layer. In this paper, aiming at reducing energy waste, caused by redundant transmission and receipt message, we propose the mac protocol using active signal and analysis performance through simulation.
