Abstract: Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a collection of sensing devices that communicates with the wireless node. Packet Collision, Idle Listening, Overhearing and Protocol Overhead are problems in Wireless Sensor Network that leads to energy wastage. In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), the main drawback is energy consumption. Idle listening is one of the most significant sources of energy consumption. In order to limit this problem many synchronous and asynchronous approaches have been proposed. Synchronous approaches reduce the idle listening by sharing schedule information. Exchange of schedule information again results in extra overhead on energy consumption. Asynchronous approach (RI-MAC) uses receiver initiated beacon to do same. In this thesis, S-MAC and RI-MAC protocol are analyzed and evaluated. The major performance parameters are Idle Listening and Energy Wastage.
Keywords: Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), Protocol Overhead, S-MAC and RI-MAC protocol.
