Contention-free Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have higher energy efficiency and lower packet latency than contention-based ones due to reduced idling and allow efficient utilization of energy supplies of sensors. This paper presents evaluation the performance of Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) dutycycled MAC for multihop WSNs. We propose a semi-Markov chains by considering power consumption in different operational models to analyze the Quality of Services (QoS) parameters in terms of energy consumption, delay, and throughput. We show how the model can be applied to impose architectural decisions and compute energy duty-cycles.

Evaluation of a duty-cycled asynchronous X-MAC protocol for vehicular sensor networks
Hasan, Mohammed Zaki; Al-Turjman, Fadi (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-5-23)
An asynchronous medium access control (MAC) duty-cycled protocols have higher energy efficiency and lower packet latency than synchronized ones due to reduced idle listening. Moreover, they provide efficient utilization of energy supplied to mobile sensors. They are considered very important in MAC protocols due to the adverse effects of hidden terminals which causes energy consumption in sensor networks. Therefore, in this paper, the impact of hidden terminals on the performance of an asynchronous duty-cyc...
Implementation of the heed clustering protocol with sleep scheduling in tinyos 2 on a wireless sensor network testbed
Özkan, Canay; Uysal Bıyıkoğlu, Elif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013)
Energy efficient operation is often critical for wireless sensor networks (WSN), because network nodes operate on limited batteries. The aim of this thesis is to realize an implementation of an energy-efficient, scalable and competitive clustering protocol, HEED on MICAz motes using TinyOS 2 with further energy-efficiency enhancements. A working testbed is constructed, on which the network organizes itself to send periodic sensor measurements to a central station. In order to control overall energy consumpt...
Evaluation of priority dependent and time scheduled MAC layer protocols for ad-hoc networks
Erdeğer, İsmail; Baykal, Buyurman; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015)
Ad-hoc networks have very unique features, such as dynamic topologies, relatively limited bandwidth and wireless signal propagation schemes, which present various challenges for wireless communication. In this thesis, control mechanisms for channel access scheduling and topology in ad-hoc networks are evaluated, which utilize the information from two-hop neighborhood to cope with the communication difficulties in ad-hoc networks. Channel assignment is one of the most important topics for ad-hoc networks. Ch...
An energy aware fuzzy approach to unequal clustering in wireless sensor networks
Bagci, Hakan; Yazıcı, Adnan (2013-04-01)
In order to gather information more efficiently in terms of energy consumption, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are partitioned into clusters. In clustered WSNs, each sensor node sends its collected data to the head of the cluster that it belongs to. The cluster-heads are responsible for aggregating the collected data and forwarding it to the base station through other cluster-heads in the network. This leads to a situation known as the hot spots problem where cluster-heads that are closer to the base stati...
Analysis and modeling of routing and security problems in wireless sensor networks with mathematical programming
İncebacak, Davut; Baykal, Nazife; Bıçakcı, Kemal; Department of Information Systems (2013)
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are composed of battery powered small sensor nodes with limited processing, memory and energy resources. Self organization property together with infrastructureless characteristics of WSNs make them favorable solutions for many applications. Algorithms and protocols developed for WSNs must consider the characteristics and constraints of WSNs but since battery replenishment is not possible or highly challenging for sensor nodes, one of the major concerns in designing network p...
