EC-MAC Protocol for Energy Harvesting Wireless Sensor Networks

What is it about?

The duty cycle MAC technique has been deployed in wireless sensor networks to decrease sensor node energy utilization. EC-MAC, or Energy-conservation Medium Access Control, is used to reduce energy consumption. The primary goal is to improve sleep latency while also balancing energy usage across sensor nodes. The suggested EC-MAC is compared to the RI-MAC and the outcome is shown. The simulation is done in NS-2. The presented method produces better results in terms of packet delivery ratio, overall energy, duty cycle, and leftover energy, according to the experimental results.
