11.2 MAC Layer-Related Sensor Network Properties

Maximizing the network lifetime is a common objective of sensor network research, since sensor nodes are assumed to be dead when they are out of battery. Under these circumstances, the proposed MAC protocol must be energy efficient by reducing the potential energy wastes presented below. The types of communication patterns that are observed in sensor network applications should be investigated, since these patterns determine the behavior of the sensor network traffic that has to be handled by a given MAC protocol. The categorization of possible communication patterns is outlined, and the necessary MAC protocol properties suitable for a sensor network environment are presented.
