An Effective Polling MAC Scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks
Cai Qing, Ding Hong-Wei, Liu Qian-Lin and Yang Zhi-Jun

Abstract: Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is an effective information acquiring and processing technology. To increase the life of WSN, each sensor node has to transmit the queuing data efficiently and conserve its energy, how to share the query of transmission for the collected information of sensor nodes becomes a new problem. Based on polling scheme with the unique characteristics of contention-free of access, this study presents an efficient polling MAC scheme with M-gated service for WSN. By the embedded Markov chain theory and the probability generation function method, we give closed form expressions for obtaining the Mean Queue Length (MQL) and the Mean Cycle Period (MCP) characteristics of the sensor nodes and the analytical results are verified through extensive computer simulations. The performance results reveal that the proposed scheme can be enrolled in design of MAC protocols to improve the efficiency of data transmission and reduce unnecessary energy consumption for sensor nodes.
