In this work, energy-efficient adaptive duty cycle guaranteed time slot algorithm is proposed for beacon-enabled standard medium access control protocol to efficiently handle low, medium and high data traffic loads. The proposed protocol can efficiently handle high traffic load by effective utilization of slots. The protocol can dynamically update the number of slots for contention access period and contention free period in each beacon interval. Therefore, it can capably handle high network load condition. The protocol continuously monitors the utilization capacity of each of the sensor node and allots the contention free period slots to the needy nodes based on their utilization capacity. Simulation analysis is done for three different scenarios. The performance of the proposed protocol is compared with the other existing protocols. Simulation results show the overall superiority of our proposed algorithm in terms of packet delivery and energy consumption.

Background: WSN is a network of smart tiny electromechanical devices named as sensors. Sensors perform various tasks like sensing the environment as per its range, transmit the data using transmission units, store the data in the storage unit and perform an action based on captured data. As they are installed in an unfriendly environment, to recharge the sensors are not possible every time which leads to a limited lifetime of a network. To enhance the life of a sensor network, the network required energy-efficient protocols. Various energy-efficient MAC protocols are developed by Research community, but very few of them are integrated with the priority-based environment which performs the priority-based data transmission. Another challenge of WSN is, most of the WSN areas are delay-sensitive because it is implemented in critical fields like military, disaster management, and health monitoring. Energy, Delay, and throughput are major quality factors that affect the sensor network. Objective: In this paper, the aim is to design and develop a MAC Protocol for a field like the military where the system requires energy efficiency and priority-based data transmission. Method: In the proposed model, the cluster-based network with priority queues are formed that can achieve higher power efficiency and less delay for sensitive data. Results: In this research simulation of Proposed MAC, TMAC and SMAC are done with different numbers of nodes, same inter-packet intervals, and variant inter-packet intervals. Based on the script simulation, result graphs are generated. Conclusion: The proposed work achieves greater lifetime compared to TMAC and SMAC using priority-based data transmission.

<p>To increase the network lifetime of WSNs is a major concern. Network lifetime can be increased by reducing energy consumptions through MAC protocols periodic and a- periodic sleep mode mechanisms. The short duty cycle makes sensors have low energy consumption rate but increases the transmission delay and long duty cycle makes the sensor to increase the energy consumption and reduce the delay. Duty cycle need to be adaptively varied to reduce the idle listening. In the proposed Adaptive Duty cycle MAC (ADMAC) protocol, duty cycle is varied by taking nodes rate of energy consumption and filled queue length in account. It reduces the delay and energy spent by reducing the idle listening. ADMAC is realized in NS2 and its performance is compared with SMAC.</p>
