TDMA Time Slot Wastage Minimization for Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is challenging in various tasks such as increasing the throughput, data packet transferring rate, and so on. To achieve this goal proper data transferring method is demanded. In this research, a dynamic TDMA time slot assignment-based communication scheme has been proposed. OMNeT++ simulation tool is used for performance analysis of this proposed method. The proposed protocol compared with LEACH-C and recent works like TAICC. Simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms in terms of cumulative data packets send, data frame versus rounds, and total data packet send.
