Various Ways to Implement Energy Efficient WiseMAC Protocol for Wireless Sensor Network

Recent few years are proved very progressive in terms of energy efficient protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks, but energy efficiency is still a point of focus in sensor networks. Among various MAC layer protocols, Wise MAC is known as one of the most energy efficient protocols. Non-Persistent Carrier Sense Multiple Access (NP-CSMA) and the preamble sampling are the main techniques used in basic Wise MAC protocol. Basically they are used to reduce the power consumption when energy is wasted in listening to idle medium. This paper investigates the Wise MAC protocol with different important schemes that are used in implementation of Wise MAC in sensor networks. These schemes basically emphasize on energy saving methods in Wise MAC. Various modifications are done to the original Wise MAC to make it more energy efficient, with the same motive of increasing energy efficiency, adaptive Wise MAC protocol with dynamic duty cycle and the adaptive Contention Window is proposed.
