Energy Efficient MAC Protocols • MAC Layer is the most suitable layer for discussing energy and power issues • Collision avoidance for energy efficiency, minimum latency, high throughput, and communication reliability, are basic requirements in the design of MAC protocol. • There are several sources of energy wastage:
Energy minimization techniques in MAC Protocols for WBANs (1/2) • There are three main approaches adopted for the energy saving mechanisms in MAC protocols for WBANs, which are listed and discussed below: • Low Power Listening (LPL) • Node awakes for a very short period to check activity of channel • If the channel is not idle then the node remains in active state to receive data and other nodes go back to sleeping mode. • LPL is sensitive to traffic rates
Energy minimization techniques in MAC Protocols for WBANs (2/2) • Scheduled Contention • Combination of the scheduling and contention based mechanisms • In Contention based protocols, contending nodes try to access the channel for data transmission • Scheduling or Contention free means that each node has the schedule of transmission in the form of bandwidth or time slot. • Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) • Time slots are allocated to the sensor nodes by a master node (MN). • This scheme is highly sensitive to clock drift • The scheme is power efficient because a node gets time slot for transmission of data and remains in sleep mode for rest of the time
