초록

무선 센서 네트워크의 MAC 프로토콜에 관한 연구는 동기식 MAC 프로토콜과 비동기식 MAC 프로토콜로 구분되어 활발한 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 특히, 비동기식 MAC 프로토콜은 각 노드들이 독립적인 Duty Cycle로 동작하기 때문에 송수신자 간의 동기를 맞추기 위한 알고리즘 연구가 필수적이다. 대표적으로 수신자 주도의 (Receiver-Initiated) MAC 프로토콜은 각 노드가 Wakeup 하자마자 전송하는 Beacon을 이용하여 송수신자 간의 동기를 맞추는 알고리즘이다. 하지만, 송신자가 언제 전송될지 모르는 수신자의 Beacon을 기다리면서 불필요한 에너지 소모가 발생하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 송수신자 사이의 최적의 중간 노드를 선정하여 성능을 향상시키는 MAC 프로토콜을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 기존의 알고리즘 보다 에너지 효율을 향상시키고 전송 지연 시간이 감소되는 결과를 보인다.

The MAC protocols, which are classified into synchronous and asynchronous MAC protocol in the wireless sensor network, have actively studied. Especially, the asynchronous MAC protocol needs to research on the algorithm synchronizing between nodes, since each node independently operates in its own duty cycle. Typically, Receiver-Initiated MAC protocol is the algorithm synchronizing particular nodes by using beacon immediately transmitted by each node when it wakes up. However, the sender consumes unnecessary energy because it blankly waits until receiving the receiver's beacon, even if it does not know when the receiver's beacon is transmitted. In this paper, we propose the MAC protocol which can improve the performance by selecting an optimal node between a sender and a receiver to overcome the disadvantages. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm improves energy efficiency and decreases average delay time than the conventional algorithm.
