  Abstract

In this paper, we propose an asynchronous MAC protocol to minimize energy usage and to maximize data throughput for a wireless sensor network in multi channel environments. Our proposed SPMC-MAC (Slim Preamble Multi-Channel Media Access Control) adopts the preamble sliming mechanism proposed in [6] that takes advantage of the knowledge about the wakeup time of the receiver node. The preamble contains the receiver’s ID and a randomly selected channel ID for data communication, and it is transmitted over a dedicated common channel. The power control has the benefit of keeping an appropriate number of nodes with the communication range, resulting in reduced collision and interference. We compare our SPMC-MAC and X-MAC extensively in terms of energy consumption and throughput using mathematical analysis and simulation.
