Abstract :
Previous studies have shown that preamble MAC protocols have higher energy efficiency compared to traditional low power MAC protocols based on common sleep/wakeup schedules. One efficient implementation of preamble MAC protocols is frame preamble MAC in which the MAC preamble is replaced by a series of frames. In this paper, we consider four frame preamble MAC protocols, namely: persistent MFP (micro frame preamble), non persistent MFP, persistent DFP (data frame preamble), and non persistent DFP. We study their energy cost and communication reliability by assuming a simple binary symmetric channel error model
