ETEEM- Extended Traffic Aware Energy Efficient MAC Scheme for WSNs

Abstract

Idle listening issue arises when a sensor node listens to medium despite the absence of data which results in consumption of energy. ETEEM is a variant of Traffic Aware Energy Efficient MAC protocol (TEEM) which focuses on energy optimization due to reduced idle listening time and much lesser overhead on energy sources. It uses a novel scheme for using idle listening time of sensor nodes. The nodes are only active for small amount of time and most of the time, will be in sleep mode when no data is available. ETEEM reduces energy at byte level and uses a smaller byte packet called FLAG replacing longer byte SYNC packets of S-MAC and SYNCrts of TEEM respectively. It also uses a single acknowledgement packet per data set hence reducing energy while reducing frequency of the acknowledgment frames sent. The performance of ETEEM is 70% better comparative to other under-consideration MAC protocols.
