Title
Performance evaluation of receiver based MAC using configurable framework in WSNs.
Abstract
Receiver-based MAC (RB-MAC) is a preamble-sampling MAC protocol for WSNs in which a receiver node is dynamically elected, among potential neighbors of the sender node, based on current channel conditions. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of RB-MAC and compare it with a sender-based preamble-sampling MAC protocol by using analytical methods, and implementation in real sensor nodes. We have used Configurable MAC (C-MAC), which is a framework to develop different MAC protocols in WSNs. This framework is realized as a component architecture that can produce application-specific communication protocols. The experimental results presented in the paper corroborate with the analytical and numerical results showing how RB-MAC outperforms sender-based MAC protocols in terms of transmission delay, and energy consumption.
