Abstract :
In this paper a low-power communication protocol is proposed for sensor networks, where sensors mostly send measurements and rarely receive commands. The proposed protocol optimizes energy utilization on sensor nodes by using a modified MAC-layer, with acknowledgment frames piggy-backing meta-information towards sensor nodes. The proposed method is evaluated using real measurements using a modified protocol stack of IEEE 802.15.4.
