基于时分复用的一种无线传感器网络MAC协议的设计

Nowadays, different wireless sensor network applications have various kinds of medium access control (MAC) protocols. This paper discusses the problems that should be considered during the design of wireless sensor network MAC protocol, and gives a review of several typical MAC protocols. Moreover, this paper raises a new MAC protocol based on TDMA, which put the energy-saving as the major consideration for specific network. The results show that the new MAC protocol proposed by this article makes the network nodes of WSN use energy much more efficiently, and meet the requirements under the case of non-energy supplement.
