Madhusmita Nandi . Delay Analysis of ML-MAC Algorithm For Wireless Sensor Networks. International Journal of Computer Applications. 96, 5 ( June 2014), 30-35. DOI=10.5120/16791-6380
The present work is to evaluate energy consumption in wireless sensor networks for multi-layer medium access control (ML-MAC) scheme where the delay times, i. e. , packet transmission delay, maximum response time delay, clock-drift delay, sleep delay and queuing delay are considered. Sensor nodes in ML-MAC algorithm have very short listening time than sensor-MAC (S-MAC) which would minimize the energy. The number of collisions where two or more nodes try to send at the same time is reduced in ML-MAC. Simulation results of performance of ML-MAC compared with ML-MAC considering the delay time and S-MAC.
