“…Some examples of reactive protocols are Receiver-based MAC [10] and Asynchronous MAC (AMAC) [9]. The former considers the receiver-based next hop choosing to minimize the energy consumption of the discovery process.…”

“…The simulation time is [200]s. However, the first dissemination occurs after [10]s, so that protocols can be initialized, and the last occurs before [150]s, so that all messages disseminated by the monitor node are routed. We used the Trajectory Based Forwarding [11] protocol at the network layer because it is a energy efficient routing protocol designed for data dissemination in WSNs.…”

“…The Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols for WSNs often address this challenge, controlling the medium access so when the next hop is awake it can receive messages. The MAC policies to determine the working schedule of neighbor nodes existing in literature [9], [10] can be divided into proactive and reactive. The first defines that each node should share its working schedule with all of its neighbors, allowing each sender to schedule its transmission for the next node awaking moment.…”

The Medium Access Control layer in Wireless Sensor Networks handles the failures that occur when a node sends a frame to a dormant neighbor. Some protocols work in such a way that when a node shares its working schedule with its neighbors, each sender node schedules its transmission to the moment when the next node is awake. In others, the nodes do not share information and when one needs to send a frame, it first discovers the time when the next node will be awake. Both approaches are limited due to additional transmissions. This work proposes a hybrid policy that combines the existing ones in order to minimize their costs. Simulation results reveal that our solution often reduces the number of transmissions and energy consumption of the existing policies in the evaluated scenarios.IEEE ICC 2015 -Ad-hoc and Sensor Networking Symposium 978-1-4673-6432-4/15/$31.00 ©2015 IEEE
