Performance Study for S-MAC in Wireless Sensor Networks
Efficient energy management is a very important issue in wireless sensor network since wireless sensor nodes are usually battery-powered. Recently, S-MAC protocol based on low duty-cycle has been proposed to reduce energy consumption. Even though research effort has been made to evaluate performance of S-MAC by conducting various simulations, however, some important simulation parameters are not well evaluated yet. In this paper, we identify the performance of S-MAC under different amount of streams and different patterns such as data rate and traffic. Through analyzing the simulation results, we discover weakness of S-MAC as well as analyze impact of amount of streams and packet pattern.

Abstract
Efficient energy management is a very important issue in wireless sensor network since wireless sensor nodes are usually battery-powered. Recently, S-MAC protocol based on low duty-cycle has been proposed to reduce energy consumption. Even though research effort has been made to evaluate performance of S-MAC by conducting various simulations, however, some important simulation parameters are not well evaluated yet. In this paper, we identify the performance of S-MAC under different amount of streams and different patterns such as data rate and traffic. Through analyzing the simulation results, we discover weakness of S-MAC as well as analyze impact of amount of streams and packet pattern.
