Abstract :
This paper presents an improved wireless MAC protocol that enables IEEE 802.15.4 based WSNs to provide an energy-efficient, reliable, and delay-limited data transmission for hybrid monitoring applications. The proposed protocol is implemented in ns-2, and its performance is evaluated in terms of energy consumption, delay, and reliability in data transmission. Extensive simulations verify the improved performance of the proposed protocol in hybrid monitoring applications.
