Publication Fault Tolerant Wireless Sensor MAC protocol for efficient collision avoidance (Published in NETCOM ( IEEE initiative) , an international conference for Wireless networks . The .paper is a part of the IEEE DBLP library and CS-digital library. It has also been included in a graph theory journal named GRAPHOC. ABSTRACT :
In sensor networks communication by broadcast methods involves many hazards, especially collision.Several MAC layer protocols have been proposed to resolve the problem of collision namely ARBP,where the best achieved success rate is 90%. We hereby propose a MAC protocol which achieves a greater success rate (Success rate is defined as the percentage of delivered packets at the source reaching the destination successfully) by reducing the number of collisions, but by trading off the average propagation delay of transmission. Our proposed protocols are also shown to be more energy efficient in terms of energy dissipation per message delivery, compared to the currently existing protocol
