Abstract
On the wireless sensor network MAC protocols, one of main issues is energy enciency. Since several asynchronous wireless sensor network MAC protocols with short preamble sampling scheme can be operated without setting the timing synchronization among neighbor nodes, it consumes a little energy for maintaining protocols. However, each node encounters either preamble or data overhearing problem, because each node wakes up in a different time and must check whether the frame is being sent to itself or not. To solve this overhearing problem, we newly propose B-MAC++ that can reduce the overhearing energy consumption by using short preambles with destination address and payload length. from simulation results, we show that the proposed B-MAC++ has advantageous in terms of power consumption efficiency over other asynchronous wireless sensor network MAC protocols.
