Modeling and performance analysis for a receiver-initiated MAC protocol in wireless sensor networks

Energy efficiency is a very important requirement in designing a MAC protocol for wireless sensor networks using battery-operated sensor nodes. We proposed a new energy-efficient MAC protocol, RIX-MAC, based on asynchronous duty cycling and receiver-initiated scheme. In this article, we analyze the...

Summary:Energy efficiency is a very important requirement in designing a MAC protocol for wireless sensor networks using battery-operated sensor nodes. We proposed a new energy-efficient MAC protocol, RIX-MAC, based on asynchronous duty cycling and receiver-initiated scheme. In this article, we analyze the performance such as throughput, delay, and energy consumption of RIX-MAC with modeling and simulation. For mathematical analysis, we first use the Markov chain model and determine the transmission and state probabilities and set the equations to solve throughput and delay. We also calculate the energy consumption by separating a cycle period into TX and RX durations. Our analysis results are validated by comparing with the simulation results obtained by NS-2.
