Abstract

Although numerous wireless network protocols are well-studied today, few of them are feasible for super-micro wireless networked sensors with the seriously limited system. In this paper, we present a MAC protocol named ”ST-MAC (Sensor Media Access Control protocol based on TDMA)” for wireless networked sensors with the seriously limited resource. Performance analysis in theory and experimental measurements indicate that ST-MAC achieves efficient transmission control with high packet delivery success rate, fair bandwidth allocation and acceptable adaptive ability.
