Dhanpratap Singh, Jyoti Singhai . Energy Conservation MAC Protocols with Low Duty Cycling for WSN: A Review. International Journal of Computer Applications. 109, 10 ( January 2015), 36-44. DOI=10.5120/19228-0939
The energy constraints in the wireless sensor network are under too much consideration. Since WSN is based on relay system and therefore each node participate in complete communication process either as a source, forwarding nodes or as a receiver. This paper presents critical reviews on recent development in various MAC protocols for saving energy in wireless sensor network by modifying duty cycle. These protocols are based on the work done on the Medium Access Control layer of TCP/IP protocol suit.
