Energy Efficient Quality Assurance MAC Protocols in WSN

Abstract

The key aim of the proposed research is to perform an analysis of various QoS aware MAC protocols for WSN based on simulation and literature both. The proposed work represents the designs and methodologies of different MAC protocols. And also classify the various MAC protocols based on media access and allocation of schedule for communication among the sensor nodes. The proposed work performs the analysis by designing, developing and analyzing various quality aware MAC protocols for Wireless sensor network. This paper describes the detailed analysis of different channel access methods of a network. It also depicts detail algorithms of SMAC and describes the procedure of data communication in TMAC, BMAC, and ZMAC. Also, simulate the SMAC and TMAC protocols to analyze energy efficiency as a QoS parameter. The simulation of SMAC and TMAC data transmission is done in network simulator 3 by using various network parameters. In this research the QoS parameters like Energy, Throughput, delay and, latency are analyzed by simulation and literature respectively. A new research always starts with analysis of existing one. So, Analysis of different MAC is useful for the WSN research community to propose and develop a QoS aware MAC protocol.
