Title
EPDC: An Enhanced Pipelined Data Collection MAC for Duty-Cycled Linear Sensor Networks
Abstract
Duty-cycling techniques have been widely adopted to save energy for energy-constrained wireless sensor networks, while they also cause the sleep latency issue, especially in a multihop linear sensor network (LSN). So the duty-cycling and pipelined-forwarding (DCPF) techniques have been proposed to alleviate this issue. However, most of existing DCPF protocols have no effective scheme to handle the contention and interference among those proximately-located nodes which maintain the same sleep-wakeup schedule. As a result, the network performance degrades with low energy efficiency and high packet delivery latency, particularly when experiencing a heavy traffic load. To this end, this paper proposes an enhanced pipelined data collection (EPDC) MAC protocol for LSN. In EPDC, three algorithms are proposed to guarantee that those nodes located within the interference range of each other have mutually staggered sleep-wakeup schedules, so that the contention and interference among them can be eliminated. The extensive OP-NET simulations show that EPDC significantly outperforms an existing DCPF protocol in terms of packet delivery ratio, network throughput, packet delivery latency, and energy efficiency.
