An Efficient Duty Cycle Based Communication Scheme for Wireless Sensor Network

Due to the limitation of battery life time, energy is one of the most crucial issues for wireless sensor networks. Thus this paper proposes an energy efficient duty cycle scheme to conserve energy mostly. To handle the large varieties of data (i.e., both low and high traffic load) the proposed duty cycle scheme ensures a fair access period (FAP) and a prioritized access period (PAP). The idea presented in this paper able to reduce the collision probability and energy consumption. Finally simulation outputs have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed duty cycle task and showed a noticeable performance in terms of energy usage.
