Energy Efficient Hybrid Medium Access Control Protocol for Wireless Sensor Network

In the present work, an energy-efficient hybrid MAC (EEHMAC) protocol is proposed. The proposed protocol utilizes the slots in an energy-efficient manner for time-constraint data traffic applications. EEHMAC can capably handle periodic data generation, time-constraint data traffic, and event-driven data traffic generation in an energy-efficient manner. The general superiority of our proposed EEHMAC protocol is shown by both analytical and simulation performance.
