Outline Introduction Related works Problem statement Goal Environment assumption Proposed solution BOX-MAC Simulation Conclusion

Introduction WSNs are composed of small and cheap sensors that can sense, compute and communicate

Introduction How to design a MAC protocol Reduce energy consumption with LPL

Related works B-MAC Low Power Listening (LPL) Sender Receiver Long Preamble awake sleep DATA Target address in data header S R others Receive DATA

Related works X-MAC Sender Receiver awake sleep DATA Receive DATA S R PR R wake up A A Short preambles with target address information

Problem statement How the LPL can be configured on-the-fly, while the network is running In centralized solution Large control message In localized solution Node isolation

Goal To propose a simple mechanism that allows preamble-sampling MAC protocols to adapt their LPL Energy efficient

Environment assumption To establish energy-efficient communications over certain data collect paths toward the sink station Every node has the information of neighbors

Proposed solution BOX-MAC (Burst-Oriented X-MAC) Preamble Length (PL) T max, T min Sampling Period (SP) T max, T min S1 S2
