“…Although the schedule table might be further reduced to a 3-zone table, the irregularity of the timezones due to random node location caused significant collisions at the zone in between parallel transmission. Our empirical results in [18] proved for the 4-zone V-Table to be the most advantageous number that caused high number of parallel retransmission together with minimum number of collisions.…”

Abstract-Notoriously, energy-efficient MAC protocols cause high latency of packets. Such delays may well increase when a routing protocol is applied. Therefore, quantifying the endto-end delay and energy consumption when low duty cycle MAC and routing protocols are jointly used, is of particular interest. In this paper, we present a comprehensive evaluation of the MERLIN (MAC and Efficient Routing integrated with support for localization) protocol. MERLIN integrates MAC and routing features into a single architecture. In contrast to many sensor network protocols, it employs a multicast upstream and multicast downstream approach to relaying packets to and from the gateway. Simultaneous reception and transmission errors are notified by using asynchronous burst ACK and negative burst ACK. A division of the network into timezones, together with an appropriate scheduling policy, enables the routing of packets to the closest gateway. An evaluation of MERLIN has been conducted through simulation, against both the SMAC and the ESR routing protocols,which is an improved version of the DSR algorithm. The results illustrate how both SMAC and ESR, jointly used in low duty cycle scenarios, can cause an impractical and very high end-to-end delays. MERLIN, as an integrated approach, notably reduces the latency, resulting in nodes that can operate in a very low duty cycle. Consequently, an extension of the operative lifetime of the sensor network is achieved.

“…The total initialisation time depends on the scheduling table being utilized. In particular, previous studies on the performance of the scheduling of MERLIN in [18] showed that the Vtable, described in section V-B, enabled the initialisation of 14 timezones in a network in approximately 9 seconds.…”

“…TRAMA [15] supports unicast, broadcast and multicast traffic. MERLIN [16] divides the network in timezones and after that uses combination of TDMA and CSMA technique to decrease number of collisions and node activity. MERLIN [16] suffers from hidden terminal problem.…”

“…In this protocol still work is required in the use of channel, rather than using one single channel for data and signal transmission two different channels can be used for transmission. In [16] mobility of nodes is not considered, so still work is required to cope up with the mobility of the nodes. [17] can be extended to mobile ad hoc networks and mesh networks.…”

Data collection is the most basic task in wireless sensor networks. A wireless sensor network consists of large numbers of nodes which collects data and then forwards collected data to sink. An important area of research in WSN is energy conservation. Medium Access Control(MAC) protocols plays vital role in energy conservation. MAC protocols are either CSMA based or TDMA based. CSMA based protocols suffers from collision while synchronization among nodes is drawback of TDMA based protocols.

This paper investigates the performance of a new node deployment model named Tri -Hexagon-Tiling for different types of scheduling in terms of energy consumption. This paper includes three types of scheduling methods by which we can allocate the time slots to the network nodes in order to assign them the periods of activity and inactivity. All the simulations have been conducted in OMNeT++ [1] discrete event simulator. This paper investigates the energy composition related to different scheduling methods to provide a guideline for the best choice of certain method according to the application scenario.
